The American Indian College Fund invests in Native students and tribal college education to transform lives and communities.

The College Fund and its supporters uphold the promise and importance of educational success for Native people and all of our futures.

Faculty

Faculty members are essential to the success of Native students and to the future growth and sustainability of TCUs. As Indigenous-centered educators and researchers, they play a multifaceted role at their institutions. Faculty members teach in person and online, develop culturally relevant curriculum, advise and support students, serve on committees, conduct place-based research, and engage with their communities.

The College Fund is the only organization focused on supporting TCU faculty members’ academic advancement, professional growth, and peer networking. We offer graduate fellowships, professional development grants and workshops, opportunities to conduct research and share it, communities of practice, and convenings. Our programs help faculty build their skills and knowledge as instructors and scholars, support their wellbeing, facilitate relationship-building with their peers at other TCUs, and much more.

  • 1,665 full time faculty
    and adjunct instructors teaching across 35 TCUs
