Morgan Stanley Foundation Continues Scholarship Program with $20,000 Donation to The Fund

Denver, Colorado – Through a donation of $20,000, the Morgan Stanley Foundation is continuing its partnership with the American Indian College Fund (the Fund) to support American Indian education. The Morgan Stanley Foundation Tribal Scholars Program provides much-needed financial assistance to American Indian students pursuing degrees in business or business-related programs who have an interest in the financial services industry at tribal colleges and mainstream institutions.

“The American Indian College Fund’s dedication to helping American Indians reach their potential through education is unequaled,” said Joan Steinberg, Global Head of Philanthropy at Morgan Stanley. “We are proud that through our decade of support and the organization’s own hard work, more than 200 American Indian students have received assistance in their pursuit of higher education.”

“For ten years, the Morgan Stanley Foundation has consistently supported American Indian business students’ pursuit of education,” said Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund. “We are proud of this partnership and of the Morgan Stanley Foundation’s eagerness to help many more American Indian students pursue their dreams of a career in the financial services industry.”
