Too Many Scholarships, Not Enough Native Students Applying Dr. Dean Chavers discusses the abundance of scholarships available and the lack of Native American students applying for them.

Sorry - Cannot include attachment but you can contact Deborah Hunt for it:

Attached is the Nelson-Running Wolf Scholarship application for fall 2014, due September 15.

The scholarship is meant to support tribal students and encourage retention. Up to 20 students may receive a minimum of $500 in fall; renewable in spring if criteria is met.

Applications are evaluated based on tribal identity, merit, and need:

· Federal or state recognized tribal status; descendant of tribally enrolled grandparent; or local community recognition as being an active member of the Indian community
· Full or part-time: undergraduate (6 hours or more) or graduate (3 hours or more) student enrolled at University of Denver downtown campus
· Agree to maintain minimum 2.0 GPA; successful completion of coursework for semester awarded
· Ongoing participation in the community

Please complete application, scan and return with required documents to me at [email protected] by the closing date, September 15.

My relatives,

Representative Joe Salazar needs strong community support to pass two bills in the upcoming session! These bills are essential to the educational success of American Indian and Alaska Native students.

One bill eliminates racist mascots and team names at all Colorado schools. The other allows instate-tuition at Colorado public colleges and universities for students from tribes with historical ties to Colorado.

Please come to the Denver Indian Center - large conference room on Wednesday, September 10 at 4:30 pm to learn more. Our young people need our help to get these passed!

Spread the word. Thank you!
