Karen King (Navajo), a nursing student at Diné College, was featured on German television station Deutsche Welle. King talked about the importance of a college education and how a scholarship from the American Indian College Fund is helping her meet her education goals. She also spoke about her desire to work in her own community after graduation.

Richard B. Williams, president and CEO of the American Indian College Fund, was also interviewed about how the Fund helps students who couldn’t otherwise attend college, and the unmet need for scholarships to help American Indians fund their educations.
