I am a recent graduate of a tribal college. Throughout that time, I had the opportunity to receive academic scholarships from the AICF. I cannot fully express my gratitude and appreciation for this organization. The impacts that they have had on Indian Country are significant, and should be recognized. I also had the opportunity to work with the college fund on while in school to share my story with other Native Students. I can honestly say that the individuals who work in and with this organization have a genuine interest in helping Native students achieve their goals. I now have an amazing career that I truly enjoy. The journey to this point in my life would have been much more challenging without the help of the AICF. I plan to remain engaged with the College Fund, and look forward to the day that I am able to become a donor myself.
