We are so grateful to the American Indian Association of Illinois for the invitation to visit Chicago and connect with Indigenous community members interested in pursuing higher education!

We loved sharing how BMCC offers free tuition for federally recognized tribal members and first-generation descendants, flexible online programs, and culturally grounded support designed to help students succeed without leaving their identity behind.

The energy and passion in the room were truly inspiring. Thank you to the AIAI team for your hospitality and for the vital work you do in the community. A special shoutout to all the attendees who came ready to learn and explore their futures. We can't wait to see where your journey takes you!
