Resource for Indigenous Youth
American Indian College Fund: We have one unwavering purpose – increasing the number of American Indians who hold college degrees. Currently only 14.5% of American Indians have a college degree – less than half the national average. Every year, we empower more than 4,000 American Indian students to start and stay in school, complete their degrees and launch careers that benefit us all. We have provided 143,281 scholarships and $237.1 million to support American Indian communities. We intend to double our impact in the next five years. Join us and help a student today.
