Analysis comparing NCES 2011/12 enrollment data against Title VII eligibility criteria and USASpending.gov funding records identified 840 LEAs, of which 286 were eligible; 91 were funded and 195 (68 percent) were not. The eligible-but-unfunded LEAs serve an estimated 11,848 AI/AN students.
"The final lists consist of 91 eligible LEAs that did receive new awards for Title VII funds between 2008 and 2013, and 195 LEAs (68 percent) that appeared to be eligible but were not on the Title VII grants list in 2013."
