Concerns for Continued Native Student Access to Higher Education and Programs
Native Forward, in collaboration with three Native scholarship providers, release National Study on College Affordability for Indigenous Students.
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.
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.
