The American Indian College Fund (College Fund) recently received a $434,000 adult literacy grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation (DGLF) for its Native Students Stepping Forward (NSSF): Dollar General Adult Education Program. Celebrating its eleven-year partnership with the DGLF, the program works to increase the number of adults working toward high school equivalency (HSE) in Indian Country. With this year’s DGLF funding, the program can serve 10 tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) who support HSE attainment while also strengthening the whole adult education pathway. College Fund currently plans to select its tenth participating college in 2026.
