The Agua Fund Grants $10,000 to American Indian College Fund

January 11, 2010

Denver, Colo. – The American Indian College Fund (the Fund) received a $10,000 grant from the Agua Fund for scholarships for Ute students pursuing an education at tribal colleges and universities. The Washington D.C. foundation has been a donor since 2003.

Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the Fund, said, “The generosity of The Agua Fund will help American Indian students achieve a higher education near their homes in an environment that celebrates their cultures while providing a quality education. Tribal colleges are located on or near reservations, allowing students who cannot otherwise afford to leave the reservation to attend college.”

Jasmine Neosh (Menominee), University of Michigan law student, College of Menominee Nation alumna, and American Indian College Fund student ambassador says, “I vote so that the people who make the change that our communities need have the best possible partners in that fight. While real change often comes through the work of organizers and boots on the ground, the people that we elect can either be our allies or our opposition. Either way, having some say in that choice seems like our responsibility as future ancestors.”
