Pre K-12 Grant Program

The Pre K-12 Educational Grant Program is wholly funded by the Net Profit Distribution (NPD) funds of the Ho-Chunk Nation. On an annual basis, the Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature appropriates funds to provide additional educational opportunities for Ho-Chunk Nation enrolled children in grades Pre-School through Grade 12. This program is designed to be supplemental and not a primary funding source for families with Ho-Chunk enrolled children.

The purpose of the Ho-Chunk Nation’s Pre K-12 Educational Grant Program is to provide Educational grants for parents/guardians in helping their Ho-Chunk Nation enrolled children to develop and equip themselves with the skills, knowledge and personal qualities needed for life and career success through education, and; provide Educational grants for the parents/guardians of Ho-Chunk Nation enrolled children to help meet the basic educational needs and to assist in ensuring that children in grades Pre-School through Grade 12 have the opportunity to fully participate in educational related experiences and unique educational opportunities.

All applications are subject to approval and funding availability; therefore grants are awarded on a first come, first served basis until the available funds have been spent. Parents/guardians maintain full responsibility for meeting their child’s entire funding needs.

For FY 2022-2023, All PreK-12 Grants are being funded (with the exception of Elementary, Middle School and High School Computer Purchases/Reimbursement). The limit per student is $2000.00.
