Fundraise
Living conditions on many Native American reservations are comparable to third-world countries. Employment rates, education attainment, and income are among the lowest in the nation. Many households live without necessities such as electricity and clean water. Illnesses such as diabetes and alcoholism run rampant.
By supporting our scholarship program you will empower Native Americans to create positive change for themselves and for all future generations. Host a fundraiser and help make dreams come true for our students.
