Other BIE and Interior education catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $198,416,176.89 would invent a broader education total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $198,416,176.89, 26 awards, MT, and 15.027. Correlation is not causation. Interior Tribal Self-Governance (15.022) is a separate Montana join.

Twenty-six awards are not twenty-six Montana colleges

The facts report 26 award records, not the identity of tribally controlled colleges. A campus can post multiple instruments across modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. 26 is not a census of Montana tribal colleges.

A simple mean near $7.63 million per award is arithmetic only. The packet publishes no median, no enrollment split, and no year field. Do not annualize $198,416,176.89. Downward modifications, if present in the raw file, are already netted into the supplied total. College names are not invented here.
