| Sitting Bull College (SBC) is a tribally controlled college on the Standing Rock Reservation of North and South Dakota. SBC is accredited by the North Central Association (NCA) and has operated continuously since 1973.
SBC intends to use its Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) grant to construct a Family Support Center. The center will consist of an Early Childhood Education Department, an infirmary and modern, safe spaces for up to 75 children. This project will have a tremendous impact on the student body. A very significant portion of the SBC student body is comprised of parents with children who require daycare. This group tends to drop out because there is nowhere to safely place their children when they are taking classes.
