What is the Native American College Fair?
The Native American College Fair was started in 2013 as a way to bring colleges, universities and training programs to Twin Cities Native youth and their families. We provide a setting that allows students to have meaningful conversation with representatives about college life, courses and admission & financial aid requirements.
In 2015 Indian Education Programs, Non-Profits, Tribal Entities and Post-Secondary Institutions joined the Minneapolis and the Saint Paul Public Schools Indian Education programs to create the Native American College Fair Planning Committee. This project allows us to reach hundreds of students, families and community members.
The Native American College Fair moved online in 2020, increasing our reach throughout the United States.
As of 2021 all colleges & universities participating in the Native American College Fair must offer Native American specific supports on their campus (ex. American Indian Student Center vs Multicultural Student Center). Limiting the schools who participate will provide future Native college students with information regarding the schools that currently offer supports specifically for them. We look forward to inviting additional schools in the future once they establish Native American specific supports.
