Our Purpose

We have one unwavering purpose – increasing the number of American Indians who hold college degrees. Nearly 15.5% 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 153,890 scholarships and $283.7 million to support American Indian communities. We intend to double our impact in the next five years. Join us and help a student today.

 

About Us

We are the nation’s largest and highest-rated American Indian nonprofit organization changing the face of higher education today – one American Indian at a time. We provide more scholarships to American Indians than anyone else, and we’re the only organization that enhances this individualized financial support by funding accredited, tribally controlled colleges and universities and contributing to programs that ensure student success — starting before the first day of preschool and continuing beyond a student’s first day of their first career job.

It's time to show up for Native students!

This year, we broke our records for both number of scholarships and funds dispersed, providing over 6,000 Native students with the help they need to thrive in school this fall. But we've also received a record number of requests for aid for the year to come.

It has never been more important for Native scholars to earn their degrees. 93% of College Fund scholars use their educations to give back to their communities, making them stronger and more sustainable.

Let’s support even more students in 2024 and 2025. With you by our side, we know we'll get it done.

Let's get to work, today!
