In collaboration with the American Indian College Fund, Northwest Indian College is part of a project that will support a cohort of American Indian women students at six tribal colleges to participate in a four-year leadership and scholarship program. The Embry American Women's Leadership Project will fund 20 students from the selected six colleges,
Selected participants will:
1) Receive a $5,000 annual scholarship renewable for up to four years;
2) Attend an annual 2-day retreat (all expenses paid) and meet other program participants;
Northwest Indian College was recently granted accreditation at the baccalaureate degree level, which includes the College's Bachelor of Science in Native Environmental Science degree. This field is critical to the social, cultural and economic well-being of our tribal nations and regional partners. Our first class of four-year students enrolled in 2007.
