Nulldfr 2016 Report Image description. Cover Image End of image description. NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from about 7,500 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on student enrollment, graduation rates, student charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and finances. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), an online tool to aid in the college search process. For more information about IPEDS, see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel, the figures in this report provide selected indicators for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the 2015-16 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. This report provides a list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and the criteria used for their selection. Additional information about these indicators and the pre- selected comparison group are provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report. Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data? Each institution can access previous Data Feedback Reports as far back as 2005 and customize this latest report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing. To download archived reports or customize the current Data Feedback Report (DFR), please visit our web site at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/Home/UseTheData. Northwest Indian College Bellingham, WA Northwest Indian College COMPARISON GROUP Comparison group data are included to provide a context for interpreting your institution’s statistics.

The Customize Data Feedback Report functionality on the IPEDS Data Center (http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter/) can be used to reproduce the figures in this report using different peer groups.

But you had to breathe. As you grew, your parents provided meals. But you had to eat. Your parents gave you a bed and a bed time. But you had to sleep. Your parents proudly passed on their heritage to you. But you had to feel the pride and purpose. Your teachers gave you knowledge. But you had to learn. Your tribe gave you identity. But you had to seek its legacy. And now your tribe gives you a scholarship. And you must be a scholar. There is an old saying..."You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." The list of scholarship opportunities in this booklet is for you...it is the water. You can stare at it, ignore it, dream about it. But it will never quench your thirst until you apply for the scholarships, until you meet the deadlines, until you write the essays, until you secure the recommendations. Your parents will help, your teachers will help, your tribal director of education will help. But you must do. If, in looking for a scholarship, a provided link does not work, email or call me and I will get the information for you. If you truly want a certain scholarship...let's go get it!! Good luck. May your dreams be exceeded only by your accomplishments. Pam Leptich Director of Higher Education Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma PO Box 765 Quapaw, OK 74363 1-918-542-1853, ext.

  • Addressing COVID-19 Pandemic at Tribal Colleges
    Addressing of the COVID-19 Pandemic by Tribal Colleges Presentation to NSF CEOSE, June 11, 2020 Bob Megginson, University of Michigan Former Summer Adjunct Faculty, Turtle Mountain Community College Definition and number of U.S. tribal colleges • Broadly defined here to be institutions of higher education whose student bodies are, in fact and by intent, primarily indigenous people of the U.S. • Most have connections to a specific tribe, though serving the broader American Indian/Alaskan Native communities • Two exceptions, generally considered tribal colleges but federal schools without a specific tribal connection: Haskell Indian Nations University (Lawrence, KS), Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (Albuquerque) • One other exception: Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (Cloquet, MN), considered a tribal college due to its founding by the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, but now part of the Minnesota State Colleges and University System with enrollment only about 16% American Indian, with the majority (about 62%) white • Also often mentioned in conversations about tribal colleges, but not actually tribal colleges, and not discussed here: Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institutions (NASNTIs); e.g., Fort Lewis College (Durango, CO) is an important example • Close to 40 2 What follows in this 10 minute presentation (technology willing!) • NOT a look at all of the 20 remaining slides! They contain, primarily, detailed data collected from 32 of the tribal colleges, for those who might want to bore into this more deeply, as well as a (slightly) more complete list of institutions I prepared for a paper about sustainability at the colleges, to appear this year.
