Happy New Year from the American Indian College Fund

Jan 4, 2010 | Archives, Blog

As 2010 begins, we at the Fund wish all good things and every success for our supporters and our students.

Without our supporters, our students could not go on to achieve the astounding successes that they have over the past 20 years. And our students are our future in Indian Country–without them we would not be able to continue our lifeways, our culture.

We are thrilled to be part of the journey of both of our supporters and our students. Godspeed for a wonderful new year!

Vicki aims to integrate her findings into the curriculum and publish her stories to reach a broader audience.
