Tribal colleges succeed despite limitations

MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 2003

The nation's 31 tribal colleges are educating more than 30,000 students every year, more than double the enrollment a decade ago, The Chicago Tribune reports.

The colleges rely on the federal government for funding. The Department of Interior's budget in recent years has placed more an emphasis on K-12 education, cutting education programs at tribal colleges.
