While primarily focused on economic development and education, projects that aim to build capacity within Indigenous communities around data governance or research ethics related to genomics could potentially align with their broader mission of supporting Indigenous self-determination and community well-being.

Indigenous Peoples Grants - Johnson Scholarship Foundation You are here: Home 1 / Our Work 2 / Indigenous Peoples Cody Anthony, a Johnson Scholar of Grantee Partner Toronto Metropolitan University The idea that underpins Foundation programs in this area is that we strive to catalyze economic development by investing in entrepreneurship and business education and investing in capacity building for business and entrepreneurship in Indigenous communities.
The Foundation has 30 years of experience with programs that work to give life to this idea. Since 1992 our Indigenous Entrepreneurship Scholarship Program has provided scholarships to Indigenous students who study business or entrepreneurship. We invest about $500,000 annually on scholarships and another $100,000 to $500,000 on endowment building.
The program began with students at tribal colleges, but the Foundation now funds Indigenous students at other institutions as well. Those institutions have a high number of Indigenous students and graduates. In 2001 the Foundation requested that Gonzaga University develop an MBA in American Indian Entrepreneurship, and the Foundation provided full-ride scholarships for Indigenous students to attend.
Since its inception, the program has produced more than 80 graduates. We know of no comparable program in the country. The Foundation also has made capacity-building grants to aid the establishment of business and entrepreneurship training in Indigenous communities.
Grant recipients include American Indigenous Business Leaders (AIBL), Capital for Aboriginal Prosperity through Entrepreneurship (CAPE) Fund, Lakota Funds, and the Native CDFI network. The expectation is that these will complement our investments in education by enhancing the conditions and opportunities for entrepreneurs and business owners.

The NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program makes roughly $68 million available to fund the pipeline of STEM majors and professionals into K-12 classrooms in high-need districts, with awards up to $3.25 million and a full-proposal deadline on the last Tuesday of August 2026. For this cycle, NSF has waived the Track 2 and Track 3 cost-sharing requirement — a change that quietly removes the single biggest barrier for many applicant institutions. Here is how the four tracks work and how to build a competitive proposal.
