National Study on College Affordability for Indigenous Students
Native Forward, in collaboration with three Native scholarship providers, release National Study on College Affordability for Indigenous Students.
Native Forward Is Our New Name
We believe higher education deepens our transformative impact on every part of society. Knowledge and experience are powerful tools that can advance and preserve our way of life.
50
YEARS
Making a Difference for Over 50 Years
We award $15 million in scholarships annually and have awarded over $350 million since the beginning. For 50 years, Native Forward has empowered Native students from over 500 Tribes in all 50 states.
I see the disconnect and disparities for Native students and STEM. I want to help bridge that gap between Native communities and science. We have the opportunity to solve a lot of the problems facing Indian Country. It just takes time and the skills.
From Our Scholars
“Native Forward Scholars Fund has empowered me, by funding my graduate education for nearly seven years! The funding from Native Forward has allowed me to focus on my education and completing my graduate degrees that will soon include a Doctorate of Education.”
Tyler Parisien | Native Forward Alumnus | Turtle Mountain Chippewa
“I am proud to call myself a Native Forward scholar and forever grateful to Native Forward Scholars Fund for the assistance and nurturing of my development. I will continue to extend to others the generosity given to me.”
Joshua Brown | Native Forward Scholar | Aaniiih, Nakoda, and Salish
