Bozho,
Congratulations to all the students who are nearing completion of the 2021-2022 school year. The NNLPC is honored to have been part of this year’s journey, including our long-overdue in-person gathering at Sandia Pueblo for the Federal Bar Association Indian Law Conference. We are greatly looking forward to celebrating graduation next month. In the meantime, best of luck with finals.
We are thrilled with the recent news of the University of California covering tuition for students from federally recognized tribes and The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria's announcement of their scholarship fund for students to attend UC schools from non-federally recognized tribes. This is an incredible step towards enhancing the pipeline of future Native scholars, professionals, and warriors. We are so excited to see what's next!
Megwetch,
