The Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight

On pueblos, reservations, tribal lands, and in our community, brilliant Native minds face an impossible choice: pursue higher education or support their families financially.

The statistics tell a stark story:

Only 1 in 5 Indigenous students complete a four-year degree
Financial barriers are the #1 reason students leave college
Our communities are starving for Indigenous doctors, teachers, engineers, and leaders

But behind every statistic is a student whose potential is limitless. The barriers are real. Your support makes the difference.

Meet the Dreamers You're Supporting

This year, we're raising $50,000 to support 20 Indigenous students who carry the dreams of becoming healers, leaders, and knowledge keepers. Students with visions like:

A young mother who dreams of becoming a nurse so she can bring healthcare back to her pueblo.

An aspiring environmental scientist who wants to protect the sacred waters while designing sustainable solutions that honor ancient wisdom.

A gifted artist who dreams of weaving traditional stories into contemporary art, ensuring sacred teachings find new voices where young people can discover their heritage.

The Indigenia Solution: Education as Cultural Preservation

At Indigenia Foundation, we believe education doesn't take students away from their communities—it strengthens them. Our Pathways to Excellence scholarship program doesn't just fund tuition; it cultivates Indigenous leaders who return home to heal, teach, innovate, and inspire.

This isn't charity. This is investment in Indigenous sovereignty.
