The American Indian Education Foundation (AIEF)
provides Native American students with the tools
and resources to learn. AIEF programs target
Native American students living in remote,
resource-poor areas on reservations. Students
and schools in these areas have limited access
to many of the tools needed to obtain an
adequate education. AIEF has developed a
variety of programs to meet the needs of these
students and schools.
AIEF is one of America's largest grantors of
scholarships to Native American students.
Unlike many other scholarship programs that
award only to students with the highest GPA,
AIEF targets students who have demonstrated
reasonable acedemic success and are highly
motivated to improve their own life and the
lives of others. Such young people are likely
to be overlooked by other scholarship programs,
yet can be very successful in college in they
have the right encouragement and support.
AIEF staff works extensively with each
scholarship recipient during the critial first
year of college, when many Native American
students drop out. AIEF staff maintains
constant contact with our students through
cards, e-mails, "care packages," school
supplies, phone cards, and, always, a shoulder
to lean on.
Every year AIEF distributes backpacks filled
with school supplies to students in remote and
economically depressed areas. AIEF targets
communities with real financial hardship --
communities where most students would have
little or no access to school supplies. Every
student in each of the selected schools is given
a backpack filled with necessary supplies for
the upcoming year.
The importance of parental involvement in a
child's education is well documented. AIEF
targets schools with low parental participation
and/or attendance rates and provides incentives
to encourage parents to become more actively
involved in the school. AIEF has had many
success stories with dramatic increases in
parental involvement and student attendance.
Many schools in Native American communities
await funding for repair work. When feasible,
AIEF will fund repair projects when it is clear
that conditions in a school are very unsafe and
immediate action needs to be taken. AIEF
funding has provided for a furnace to heat
classrooms in winter, air conditioning for a
school when classroom temperatures regularly
exceed 100 degrees, and new sidewalks to replace
unsafe ones on school grounds.
Like all National Relief Charities programs,
AIEF targets remote and resource-poor
communities. When bright, motivated children in
these communities lack basic school supplies, or
cannot study at night because their homes lack
electricity, AIEF is there to help.
