The American Indian College Fund is delighted at the news that Congress passed Cobell settlement, and about the creation of the $60 million Indian Education Scholarship Holding Fund. By including this provision in the settlement, the Plaintiffs in the case have reinforced the value of education in Indian Country while providing hope for a better future for many American Indian people.
This is indeed an historic day for Indian peoples and future generations of American Indians.
The American Indian College Fund provides the next generation of Native teachers with the support they need—financial and otherwise—to succeed in their important education careers, while also supporting tribal colleges and universities with teacher education programs to provide them with a quality education. Together we are working to ensure Native voices and perspectives are seen and heard in the classroom—and Native students have the support to succeed.
Women and girls are sacred in Native communities and the disproportionate rates of violence against Native women is deeply concerning. More than four out of five of our Native mothers, aunts, sisters, and daughters experienced violence (84.3%) in 2022, according to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics.
The American Indian College Fund (College Fund) will host its Fifth Annual Summer of Success Conference: Cultivating Connections into Success from May 19 to May 21. This three-day, interactive online event is tailored to high school and college students, staff, faculty, and families, centering Native culture, experiences, and determinants of college success.
