Graduation time is upon us. All of us at the American Indian College Fund want to wish all of our graduating students the best in their new and hard-won future!
As one donor, Joanne (Cherokee-Choctaw) of Utah, said, “How proud I am of the graduates–and the others struggling on through. But mostly I proud of their desire to return home to be good role models and to advance their heritage.”
Well done, everyone!
