IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Changes Coming to Tribal Programs
Funds made available for our Tribe’s Community Services and Education Assistance programs come from the Delaware Tribe’s Investment income our Trust Board has invested with the Tribe’s Money Management Firm. Unfortunately, after the January Trust Board meeting it was learned that no investment income had been realized from the previous year. This affects all of our Trust Board committee’s funding by these lack of earnings. So, the Community services and Education committee met and has taken the following action: No Trust Fund Scholarships will be awarded for the Spring Semester of 2019. This includes our other Education assistance programs, Vo-Tech, Athletic, Driver’s Ed., School Supplies and Academic awards.
The Community Service benefits will be reduced as follows: Burial assistance $375.00 , Elder Prescriptions $75.00 maximum per year, Medical assistance $120.00 and Emergency assistance $25.00. Dental, Elder Optical, Student Optical and Rental assistance benefits have been eliminated. Should funds become available, further notification will be provided to our social media and updated in our April issue of the Delaware Indian News.
