The outreach mission was further expanded by the [[Smith-Lever Act of 1914]] to include [[Cooperative extension service|cooperative extension]] &mdash; the sending of agents into rural areas to help bring the results of agricultural research to the end users. Beyond the original land grants, each land-grant college receives annual Federal appropriations for research and extension work on the condition that those funds are matched by state funds. ==Expansion== While today's land-grant universities were initially known as land-grant [[college]]s, only a few of the [[List of land-grant universities|more than 70]] institutions that developed from the Morrill Acts retain "College" in their official names; most are universities.

In a 1972 Special Education Amendment, [[American Samoa]], [[Guam]], [[Micronesia]], [[Northern Marianas]], and [[Virgin Islands|the Virgin Islands]] each received $3 million. In 1994, 29 [[tribal colleges and universities]] became land-grant institutions under the [[Elementary and Secondary Education Reauthorization Act of 1994|Elementary and Secondary Education Reauthorization Act]]. As of 2008, 32 tribal colleges and universities have land-grant status. Most of these colleges grant two-year degrees.
