The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Tuesday that $3.3 million will go toward tribal colleges as part of the Rural Development Tribal College Grant program.

Each of the college awarded grant money will receive more than $158,000 for improvements. The money will be used to construct buildings, buy new equipment and upgrade classrooms, among other things.
