A Message to Our Students for the New School Year

Aug 31, 2010 | Archives, Blog

Many of our tribal college students are back in school or are preparing to go back now. We at the American Indian College Fund would like to wish you the best of luck in the new school year. You are on a sacred journey of acquiring knowledge–about your people, your culture, and the wider world.

As you embark on this leg of your journey, we would like to remind you that nothing good comes easy–it takes hard work and sacrifice. We know that you can achieve all of your dreams and goals if you are willing to work hard and go for it.

You have taken the first step. We are cheering for you every step of the way! If you have any questions or concerns as you take this journey, please do not hesitate to contact us at the American Indian College Fund for advice or encouragement.
