For Students
In order to increase the numbers of Indigenous North Americans seeking degrees and careers in STEM
fields, students must be started on the STEM pathway early. One of the biggest challenges in reaching
this goal is ensuring that students, educators, and parents have access to information and resources

STEM fields. Native college students need professional mentorship and peer support in addition to
scholarship support. Students are most successful when they have a network of other Native students,
