It’s never too late to pursue a higher education and it’s never too late for potential Native scholars to apply for funding to make their academic dreams come true through the American Indian College Fund (College Fund). Our application season runs until the funding runs out; however, students who apply by May 31 receive priority.
Join the American Indian College Fund in celebrating Native graduates across the country!
The American Indian College Fund hosted its first annual First Year Experience Symposium as part of its Cultivating Native Student Success Grant Program in collaboration with the College Fund’s College Access and Success program.
This episode of Rooted in Knowledge offers an introduction to tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). If you are a student, learn more about these institutions and if a TCU could be right for you. If you are new to the College Fund’s work, check out this video to learn more about these unique and remarkable higher education institutions.
Misinformation is everywhere, but having the right tools helps us protect our narratives and ensure our communities get the truth. Always question, always verify, and always seek sources that respect our voices.
Tribal college presidents, faculty, staff, and other recent graduates are encouraged to show your support and post your throwback graduation regalia photos as we celebrate our students, our cultures, and our communities together!
The American Indian College Fund is concerned that Native students, whose equitable access to higher education hinges on federal programs (which are tied to Native tribes’ trust and treaty relationship with the federal government) will be disproportionately and negatively impacted by the dismantling of the department and the haphazard way the Trump Administration is going about it.
TCUs and TCU students need your voice in Washington. Both Haskell and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute, the nation’s oldest and only federally operated tribal colleges, are facing an immediate crisis due to the implementation of EO 14210 and the White House memo on hiring freezes.
