About us
The American Indian College Fund invests in Native students and tribal college education to transform lives and communities. We have one unwavering purpose – increasing the number of American Indians who hold college degrees. Currently only 14% 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 more than 143,281 scholarships and $237.1 million to support American Indian communities. The Fund also provides support for tribal college needs ranging from capital support to cultural preservation activities. 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 students’ first day of their first career job.

It's never too late to start leading the life you've always wanted. While many of our scholars start their college journey later in life, they know that their education is the foundation for achieving their personal and professional goals. Different phases of life have different challenges and needs, and that's why we always work to provide support that has the greatest, positive impact for each student. #AmericanIndianCollegeFund #EducationistheAnswer #IndigenousEveryDay #SupportNativeStudents #NativeStudents #HigherEducation

High school equivalency (HSE) students have unique stories and big dreams. Darlene Chee (Navajo) shares the impact a tribal college education has made on her life: “A tribal college education is particularly important because of the small class size, caring instructors, one-on-one tutoring, and affordability. SIPI’s [Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute] instructors like Mr. Snyder, and all the HSE staff, are very compassionate and supportive no matter the situation; they help you succeed.” Our High School Equivalency Visibility Project will continue to highlight these students and graduates as we celebrate our scholars at every stage in their educational journey. #EducationIsTheAnswer #SIPI #AmericanIndianCollegeFund #tribalcolleges #highschoolequivalency #HSEstudent #adulteducation

Being the 'first' can be scary, but it's that brave first step that creates a path for all those who come after. While the majority of our scholars are the first in their families to go to college, we work to make sure they never feel like they're walking alone on their educational journeys. #AmericanIndianCollegeFund #EducationistheAnswer #IndigenousEveryDay #SupportNativeStudents #NativeStudents #TribalColleges #HigherEducation
