Who Can Apply:
- Native American students are often overlooked and marginalized when it comes to pursuing higher education.
- Limited outreach from counselors and colleges, financial struggles, and fears of social isolation all contribute to the low rate of college enrollment among Native students, a disparity when compared to the overall enrollment rate. This trend is a continuing cycle, as a lack of mentors or role models makes it more difficult for the next generation to access the world of academia.
- This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Gerianne Pfeiffer by supporting students with Native American heritage as they pursue their educational goals.
- Any Native American undergraduate or graduate student may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, tell us how your Native American background has affected your education so far and how it has impacted your goals for the future.
