Bozeman, Mont., October 20, 2020 – The Trump Administration today announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $1,169,734 in the seven Tribal Colleges in rural Montana. Chief Dull Knife College in Lame Deer was awarded $161,200 through USDA Rural Development’s Tribal College Initiative Grant program.

“I’m pleased to announce the Trump Administration’s recent investment in Chief Dull Knife College. Northern Cheyenne students will benefit greatly with improvements to the STEM lab, and the ability for Chief Dull Knife College to effectively and efficiently maintain and repair the campus facilities,” said Montana State Director Charles Robison.  “Under the leadership of President Trump, USDA has been working tirelessly to be a strong partner to Indian Country because we know that when Montana Tribal communities thrive, all of Montana thrives.”

Chief Dull Knife College received $161,200 to make improvements to the campus STEM lab, as well as purchase equipment to assist in grounds and building maintenance and repairs. Over the last 10 years, USDA has supported Montana Tribal Colleges with over $11 million in direct grants to support campus facilities, equipment and infrastructure.
