American Indian Education Fund
Service Area: Nationwide
Education is one of the most important cornerstones of self-sufficiency and quality of life. It is also a crucial factor in addressing the long-term challenges on the reservations we serve.
The American Indian Education Fund® (AIEF), a program of Partnership With Native Americans® (PWNA), offers scholarships, literacy programs, and school supplies to help end the cycle of poverty and help Native American students realize their educational dreams.
Throughout our country, Native American children travel each day for hours across rugged and remote areas to attend school. These students often lack the simplest tools – such as paper and pencils – needed to participate in class.
Yet, like all children, Native American youth are inspired by the dream of a better future. Since 1997, the AIEF program – with the help of our generous donors and dedicated Program Partners – has given hope to Native American students by providing the tools they need to succeed.
The scholarship program funds and supports graduate and undergraduate Native American students attending college throughout the country with a competitive scholarship. The goal is to increase resources and encouragement for Native American students to learn and succeed. We don’t just hand out checks, though. We offer mentoring, care packages, laptops, and more to help students stay in school and realize their education dreams.
