My Nonprofit Reviews

I first became acquainted with the American Indian Graduate Center while working as a school guidance counselor in Browning, Montana. Initially, I thought that AIGC provided information and assistance for students to apply for the Gates Millennium Scholarship exclusively. It wasn't until after working with their staff that I learned all of the other opportunities provided by this excellent organization.
As previously stated, the AIGC promotes high school students to apply for the Gates Scholarship. However, this is just the tip of the college accessibility for all students iceberg. The staff works with students and their families to promote college as an option, especially for underrepresented individuals. They assist in completing the mountains of paperwork required for students to attend an institute of higher learning, crossing one hurdle after another. They provide support throughout the school year, and encourage students to "give back' by sponsoring community service experiences during the breaks.
The AIGC does not stop when the students receive their initial degree. They also provide opportunities to further student's education with an advanced degree.
The American Indian Graduate Center changes lives. I have witnessed this through the students I have worked with as a counselor. They provide the vessel for which the student can succeed. I am extremely proud that I have had the opportunity to witness first hand the impact this organization has had in creating leaders for our future.
