NOTES: Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Institution order is based on total actual dollars received before amounts are rounded. Only those agencies that had obligations in the variables represented by this table appear in the table. The list of tribal colleges and universities is from the White House Initiative on Tribal Colleges and Universities (see http://sites.ed.gov/whiaiane/tribes-tcus/tribal-colleges-and-universities/). Tribal colleges and universities are designated in section 2 of the Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act of 1978.
