The funding was made available through the National Science Foundation’s Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP). Sunday Academy is a collaborative, culturally sensitive STEM learning outreach model that from 2001 to 2015 was partially supported by TCUP. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
