The Ponca Youth Enrichment Fund program (PYEF) provides funding to assist in enabling enrolled Ponca Tribe of
Nebraska youth to reach their personal goals that may otherwise be unattainable due to lack of financial resources. The
purpose of the program is to encourage participation and excellence in physical, educational, developmental, cultural,
spiritual and other life-enriching activities.

PYEF funding may now be used to purchase school clothes. This allowable expense is effective immediately, but does not provide you additional PYEF funding if the child’s allotment has been fully expended. Please reach out to your district Case Manager if you have any questions.
