Priority is given to applications that includes an Indian tribe, organization or institution.
Individuals who receive training under the Professional Development program are required to perform work that is related to the training received and that benefits Indian people, or repay all or a prorated part of the assistance received. The second component of the program supports training of qualified Indian individuals in fields other than education that result in a degree at the graduate level. In April 2000, the Department published seven final priorities that allow the Secretary to annually select one or more of the absolute priorities that will apply for a fiscal year and the amount of available program funds that will be devoted to the selected priorities. The FY 2000 awards will begin an initial cohort group of 500 students to be trained as teachers.
