Grant Funds may be used for:

Procurement of supplies, teaching materials, and equipment for schools
Eligibility:
• Educators, administrators, and teachers that serve at schools with a high concentration of Native students
• Native or non-Native teachers or support staff (for example, librarians, school social workers, guidance counselors) who teach and/or support Native students are eligible to apply.
• Schools may be located on federally or state-recognized Indian reservations, Rancherias, Pueblos, communities, or in Alaska Native villages or in urban areas in the United States.
• Students are defined as preschool/Head Start, elementary, secondary, and college students.
• Classes do not need to be 100% Native to be eligible, but the majority of students served by the Dreamstarter Teacher grant must be Native American.
