WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren is ensuring both Diné College and Navajo Technical University receive all of the funding they have been promised by the Navajo Nation.

President Buu Nygren is confident his executive branch directors will encumber all $2.8 billion in ARPA funds within the next nine months

Navajo Technical University will become the first tribal university to offer a Ph.D. program this fall. Tribal college and university leaders are celebrating the move. Navajo Technical University in New Mexico has come a long way since its founding about 40 years ago as a job skills training center with five signature vocational programs.

Elmer Guy, president of Navajo Technical University -- a university on the U.S. largest American Indian reservation, said a new doctoral program in which students will be able to receive a Ph.D. in Dine Culture and Language Sustainability will have a profound impact on the future of the tribes language and culture.
