Native American Education Opportunity Act
HR 66 establishes the Native American Education Opportunity Act, creating Tribal-administered education savings accounts for eligible Native American students. It authorizes $8,000 annually per eligible student into accounts managed by Tribes or nonprofits, covering private tutoring, private school costs, online learning, therapies, textbooks, and college prep expenses. Eligibility is limited to students enrolled in Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools or qualifying for them, with funds requiring tribal consultation before use by educational service providers. The program expires after five years and mandates Tribes to annually consult with tribal officials before providing services to account holders.
