Amazon has teamed up to help students and faculty members at tribal colleges and universities across the country with a donation of 1,000 Fire HD 8 tablets and 550 laptops. The College Fund will distribute the tablets to students and laptops to faculty who otherwise do not have access to technology in their homes while their colleges and universities are closed to on-campus instruction, ensuring Native students’ education does not slow down or stop completely for amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Does the Department of Education Impact Higher Education?
Many organizations like the American Indian College Fund, in addition to those who challenged the Executive Order in court, reaffirmed their values which are grounded in the belief that we all contribute to the common good through education. Here at the College Fund we believe all Native people who desire an education deserve the opportunity to ensure their participation in a strong, economically thriving, democratic nation.
