College Fund Launches “Stand With Us” Campaign to Increase Natives in College

March 7, 2016

Native students are motivated, resilient and eager to activate their academic potential. And most of them need help – 90% demonstrate financial need.

Help us reach our goal of raising $500,000 so 100 more American Indians can start the path to earning their college degrees. Stand with us. Stand with Students. Together we’ll empower more American Indians to make positive change in our world.

Visit standwithnativestudents.org to help by donating, to learn more about our students, and to help us spread the word by sharing their stories on social media.
