The national survey was conducted by The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice with help from the American Indian College Fund. The survey was completed by 1,050 students at seven tribal colleges and universities located in seven states across the Midwest, Southwest, and Great Plains regions to ensure that tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) and agencies and organizations that serve them better understand the basic needs TCU students face.
