SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
2391(d) of Title 10, United States Code
(10 U.S.C. 2391), authorizes the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The NASNTI
Program provides grants to eligible
institutions of higher education (IHEs)
to enable them to improve and expand
their capacity to serve Native Americans
and low-income individuals.
Institutions may use the grants to plan,
develop, undertake, and carry out
activities to improve and expand their
capacity to serve Native American and
low-income students.
Background: Colleges and universities
that are eligible to participate in the
NASNTI Program have a critical role in
serving Native American students and
eradicating systemic and institutional
barriers that limit progress in improving
educational outcomes for Native
American students. To identify and
address those barriers, applicants
should consider data on existing gaps in
retention and graduation rates. In
developing their proposed projects, we
strongly encourage applicants to
propose high-impact services informed
by data and to set specific targets and
measures for each year of the project for
how the proposed services will address
those gaps and improve results for
Native American students.
Priorities: This notice contains one
competitive preference priority and one
invitational priority. The competitive
preference priority is from the Notice of
Administrative Priority and Definitions
for Discretionary Grant Programs,
published in the Federal Register on
December 30, 2020 (85 FR 86545)
(Remote Learning NFP).
Competitive Preference Priority: For
FY 2021 and any subsequent year in
which we make awards from the list of
unfunded applications from this
competition, this priority is a
competitive preference priority. Under
34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), we award up to
an additional 5 points to an application,
depending on how well the application
meets this priority.
This priority is:
Building Capacity for Remote
Learning (up to 5 points).
Background: Reports on students with
disabilities reveal that the transition to
remote learning presents new obstacles
to educational accessibility.1 In rural

reservation communities during the
novel coronavirus (COVID–19)
pandemic, special education services for
students with disabilities were
significantly disrupted due, in part, to
lack of access to high-speed internet and
technology.2 Achieving educational
equity for students with disabilities has
long been a goal, but the pandemic has
highlighted how advances toward
equity are often lost during crises.3
Additionally, recent data indicates
that homelessness affects 18 percent of
students at two-year institutions and 14
percent of students enrolled at four-year
institutions. In a survey of 167,000
college students, 27 percent of
American Indians or Alaska Native
students that responded were homeless.
Housing insecurity and homelessness
have a particularly strong, statistically
significant negative association with
college completion rates, persistence,
and credit attainment.4
Through this priority, the Department
invites applicants to submit proposals to
provide high-quality remote learning to
students with disabilities and students
experiencing homelessness.
Priority:
Under this priority, an applicant must
propose a project that is designed to
provide high-quality remote learning
specifically for one or more of the
following student subgroups:
(a) Children or students with
disabilities; or
(b) Homeless students.
The remote learning environment
must be accessible to individuals with
disabilities in accordance with Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and Title II of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, as applicable. The
remote learning environment must also
provide appropriate remote learning
language assistance services to English
learners.
Invitational Priority: For FY 2021 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards from the list of unfunded
applications from this competition, this
priority is an invitational priority.
Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1), we do not
give an application that meets this
