| Salish Kootenai College (SKC) is the tribal college of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana. The college mission is to provide quality postsecondary educational opportunities for Native Americans, locally and throughout the United States. Salish Kootenai College was the first tribal college in the northwest to receive full institutional accreditation from the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Colleges, at the associate degree (1984) and bachelor’s degree (1988) levels.
SKC intends to use its Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) grant to construct a classroom addition to the Health Fitness Center. The new classroom will allow health faculty and reservation health professionals to provide health education and health screening activities to 1,500 Indian students and HUD housing community members every year for 20 years. The proposed project will use the talent and experience of the Building Trades and Highway Construction faculty and students.
