DENVER – The American Indian College Fund Native scholars at Harvard Law School have what it takes to succeed. A law degree is the foundation to creating strong future leaders. Thanks to a gift of $1 million from an anonymous donor, the American Indian College Fund will award the first American Indian Law School Scholarship in the fall of the 2018-19 academic year. The scholarship covers all costs of attendance, including tuition for the three-year course of study at Harvard Law School, for one Native student.
Cheryl Crazy Bull, President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund, said, “Indigenous students and scholars know they are carrying the tremendous responsibility of protecting and honoring who we are as the First People of this country. To do this, we need educated individuals who understand the complexities of our diversity, the laws of our peoples, and the laws of this land. This gift provides a remarkable resource so that we can educate people needed to ensure Native prosperity.”
