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.
