Higher Education for Native Americans
The push is on — July 23, 2008
Kimberly Craft reports on a new push to get more Native Americans into higher education.
Arizona is home to more than 20 indigenous tribes of Native Americans and the University of Arizona has made an effort to increase the enrollment of Native American students, posting a nearly 30% increase in their numbers in the 2007 school year. However, the transition to the academic environment usually results in failure.
The Graduate Horizons program is trying to change all that.
