This month, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Scholarship Webinar Series announced that the AISES Student Success Team will host a four-part webinar series every Wednesday at 6 p.m.
These informative sessions will cover topics including Letters of Recommendation, How to Write a Scholarship Essay, Navigating the OASIS Portal, and a Q&A session with AISES Scholars and Reviewers.
AISES will also host its Canada National Gathering in Toronto, Ontario, from March 6 to 8. This gathering is a platform for Indigenous students and professionals in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to connect and build lasting relationships within Canada and North America.
In January 2025, the American Indian College Fund hosted a webinar in collaboration with the Brookings Institute and the Institute for Higher Education Policy to preview a report on Indigenous students’ access to and success in higher education.
Representatives from the American Indian College Fund, Brookings Metro, United Tribes Technical College, and the Institute for Higher Education Policy discussed recommendations from the report titled Native Higher Education Success Strategies: Strengthening Policies, Respecting Tribal Sovereignty, and Leveraging Data to Address the Decline in Native American Higher Education Enrollment.
According to recent data, only 16% of Native Americans hold a bachelor’s degree, compared to 44% of White Americans.
Additionally, approximately 30% of Native American students drop out of high school, a rate that is about twice the national average. This trend can be attributed to factors such as high poverty rates, social bias, and systemic failures within the education system.
