Tribal Court Improvement Program

Eligible Applicant Types

Additional Criteria

Eligible applicants include private institutions of higher education and entities with unrestricted eligibility. However, the focus is on tribal courts handling child welfare cases involving American Indian and Alaska Native children. This means that while technically broader entities may apply, the practical focus is on tribal court systems.

Overview
