One of the Southwest Native-American Foundation's primary goals is to assist high school seniors who are matriculating to college with scholarships. In the past 15 years SWNAF has granted $250,000 in scholarships to talented and deserving Native-American High School students. We believe strongly that these awards help a college freshman with the transition to university life. This year we hope to add even more scholarship opportunities.
Since 2005, SWNAF has been honored to grant scholarships for students to attend summer programs, vocational schools, community colleges, and universities. We have presented scholarships to students from the following tribes: Hopi, Tewa, Ute, Navajo, Apache, Yavapai, Arapaho, Tohono O’odham, Lakota, Sioux, Yuma, Pima, Zuni, Pueblo, Hualapai and Havasupai.
In June of 2006, SWNAF was able to assist Tyrrell Tahe of Kykotsmovi, Arizona and Sheryln Thomas of Chinle, Arizona on their way to Northern Arizona University. The following year, 2007, we were able to assist Yadira Caballero of Grand Canyon, Arizona on her way to the University of Arizona. The year 2008 found SWNAF granting scholarships to Violeta Caballero on her way to Northern Arizona University, Samantha Leffler on her way to NAU, and Courtney Etsitty on her way to Arizona State University. In 2018 we awarded 15 scholarships to talented and deserving students for college and for summer programs.
