Native Americans are struggling to create new better prospects for their people.
Since 1958, AIS has designed many valuable programs which assist them towards
self-sufficiency and building better communities. Chief among these is providing
scholarships for needy Native Americans to attend colleges and vocational schools.
There are many bright young students from various tribes who qualify academically
for a college education. Yet, after high school, they have no means to pay college
tuition.

Over the last forty years, AIS has made it possible for thousands of Native Americans to
attend college, obtain degrees and, in turn, provide needed support in
their communities. But there are so many more who need help. Please take
time to browse through the site and learn more about how AIS is making a
difference.

Education is the permanent solution that benefits both the individual and the
community. As doctors, educators, nurses, lawyers, entrepreneurs, social
workers, business people, and computer specialists, Native Americans are in
a position to become productive individuals, to support their families, and
to help their communities maintain and build on their Native American
cultural heritage.

AIS has found that the most successful formula is for students to
earn half of their own tuition. Then AIS provides a scholarship for
the other half. Overhead expenses for the foundation are minimal and
lean, and they are all being paid by independent sources. This
means that 100% of your contribution goes directly to provide scholarships.
Education is truly the gift that keeps on giving. There is no end to the good
your contribution will do...now and for generations to come. Thank you.
