Welcome to the Virginia Tribal Education Consortium (VTEC) website!
In 2019, Tribal Leaders from the Seven federally recognized Indian Nations across Virginia came together to create a 501(c)(3) Tribal Education Agency with the mission to build the leadership capacity of our Tribal Nations to support academic excellence, cultural awareness, and historical accuracy. VTEC is committed to the facilitation of accurate Virginia Indian history, sovereignty, self-determination, and educational opportunities. To learn more about VTEC, click here!

​Important Update: NACTEP Grant Policy Changes
​
Effective immediately, the Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP) grant department at VTEC will be implementing new changes regarding enrollment and supplemental assistance.
-
Open Enrollment: Enrollment for new students will only be available for the 2025 Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters.
-
Continuing Students: Any requests for tuition and supplies from students currently enrolled in our program must follow this same schedule.
-
Funding Limitations: Due to funding constraints, we are unable to provide full tuition payments or year-round supplies.
Payment Disclaimer:
We reserve the right to accept payments outside of the listed deadlines under certain circumstances. This flexibility may apply to cases involving special programs, administrative adjustments, or unforeseen situations. However, students MUST adhere to the stated deadlines whenever possible to avoid late fees, account holds, or interruptions to their enrollment status. Exceptions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may require prior approval.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to advance and support our community.
For further details, please contact our staff via email: VTECStaff@vtecinc.org.
VTEC is passionate about engaging educational success for our community! Our active grants include: Career and Technical Education (CTE), and Native Youth Community Project (NYCP), servicing Teachers with culture-appropriate Indigenous educational resources, and students with K-12, post-secondary and scholarship/financial assistance.
