This bill creates a new scholarship program for students attending tribally controlled colleges in South Dakota, regardless of whether they are tribal members or beneficiaries of tribal nations. The state will appropriate funding to support these scholarships, expanding educational access to students at institutions like Sitting Bull College, Oglala Lakota College, and Sisseton Wahpeton College.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
