This is a wonderful opportunity for TCU faculty, staff, and students who are focused on STEM fields to take advantage of this funding. Individuals who are seeking professional development such as continuing education, conferences, training, and certifications can apply for funding to assist with registration, travel, and other related costs. Educators (K-12) at a BIE-funded school, a BIE-controlled school, a school on a reservation, or a school with a 20% or more Native American population are encouraged to apply.
