Today’s the day! Make sure to press the submit button on your Tribal College and University (TCU) Energy and Food Sovereignty Nexus Prize application before 5 p.m. ET today. Late submissions will not be accepted. Prize administrators strongly recommend submitting prior to the 5 p.m. ET deadline to manage connectivity issues or slow upload speeds.   

This is your chance to contribute to your TCU by bringing a clean energy project that grows food on campus AND earning cash prizes!  

 

Up to 30 teams will win a cash prize of $40,000 directly toward their TCU. A portion of these winnings is expected to cover travel expenses for at least three student team members and one faculty member to attend the Office of Indian Energy Annual Program Review event in person (tentatively scheduled for November 2025). 

We can’t wait to see your applications!
