Native America Calling discusses challenges in higher education for Native students

On March 19, 2025, Native America Calling highlighted the ongoing challenges Native students face in higher education under the Trump Administration. New policies are pressuring colleges and universities to dismantle scholarship programs, recruitment efforts, and academic initiatives that support Native students, with schools risking federal funding losses and investigations. At least 50 institutions are under scrutiny for practices deemed "race exclusionary." Advocates from organizations like the American Indian College Fund and the American Indian Higher Education Consortium are discussing responses to these changes and the impact on Native education.
