BIA cuts scholarships for college students
Tuesday, January 18, 2005

The Navajo Nation will be forced to deny scholarships to even more college students due to a $407,000 cut by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The tribe was told it would only receive $10.75 million for scholarships. No explanation was given by the BIA, a tribal official said.

The Bush administration cut college scholarships in its 2005 budget. It was part of a $79 million cut sought by the White House despite pledges to support Indian education.
