Getter's Guide to the Internet: A Brief Summary of Available Grant
Information and Where to Find It
This site results from a paper written in the mid-1990s. Some
of the links are broken, and I'm not sure whether the site is
maintained. Although not aimed
toward the tribal library, or even to libraries in general, the
information presented is useful to anyone searching for grant information
on the Internet. Tribal libraries are centers of education, for the
enrolled student and for the self-taught, and many are eligible for
education grants, especially those that are connected to tribal schools
and colleges.
