Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will receive more than $250,000 in federal funds from AmeriCorps to provide GED tutoring and testing services through Sitting Bull College in Fort Yates. While more than 75% of non-Native students graduate from high school, only around 50% of Native American students graduate from high school. Standing up for Native children should be an issue we can all agree on – and that includes making sure Native kids get the quality education they deserve – just as my bipartisan Commission on Native Children bill aims to do. These funds provide critical opportunities for many Native Americans to further their education in ways they once thought unlikely.
