//POLICY AND ADVOCACY

COVID-19 Policy & Aid

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the Tribal Colleges and Universities and the students in their communities.

The global pandemic has permanently altered the lives of TCU students, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Tribal communities. As TCUs continue to respond to the unique needs of their Tribal communities, AIHEC commits to supporting the TCUs beyond the global pandemic with specific policy and advocacy to ensure that TCUs are prepared for any future force majeure.

COVID-19 Resources and Impact

  • New Study Reveals the Impact of COVID-19 on Tribal College Students
  • The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) has released findings of a broad survey of tribal college and university (TCU) student experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first study of its kind, the survey posed an array of questions to nearly 500 returning TCU students, focusing on persistence, online learning, and physical and mental wellbeing.
