OVW Fiscal Year 2025 Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction (STCJ) Grant Program
The Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction (STCJ) Grant Program supports Tribal governments in preparing to exercise or exercising STCJ over non-Indians who commit “covered” crimes within the Tribe’s jurisdictional boundaries.
“Covered crimes” are:
assault of Tribal justice personnel; child violence; dating violence; domestic violence; obstruction of justice; sexual violence; sex trafficking; stalking; and violation of a protection order.
More information on the scope and requirements of STCJ, including the pilot program for under which the Attorney General may designate Alaska Tribes to exercise STCJ over non-Indians who commit covered crimes in their Villages, is available on the DOJ website at https://www.justice.gov/tribal/2013-and-2022-reauthorizations-violence-against-women-act-vawa.
In prior years, OVW issued a separate NOFO for Alaska Tribes, but for FY 2025, Alaska Tribes interested in preparing to exercise STCJ may apply under this NOFO.
