Scholarships for Navajos |

The Navajo Nation will continue
funding the Native American Achievement Program at Arizona State University
for five years at $491,500 per year, providing scholarships for Navajo
freshmen and continuing sophomores.
Thirty-three program participants have graduated. "Getting them through the first year and coming back to ASU for the second year has been the hurdle," says Peterson Zah, adviser to the ASU president on Indian affairs. A total of 313 Navajo freshmen have participated during the program's first five years. Information: (480) 965-6991. |
