To support Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in advancing the development of human potential by providing quality educational experiences, training and employment opportunities to minority students interested in transportation-related careers, support the design and implementation of educational programs, and to encourage, promote and assist minority entrepreneurs. These projects will strengthen TCU efforts to promote the full diversification of the work force by developing curricula programs.
