AMERICAN INDIAN SERVICES
Mission Statement
American Indian Services is a Native-led, 42 year old nonprofit dedicated to helping Native Americans have access to a quality education, while still preserving their culture and honoring their heritage. Our mission is to provide preparatory programs for youth and financial assistance for those in pursuit of a college degree. The mission of AIS PREP (American Indian Services Pre-Freshman Engineering Program) is to identify low-income, underrepresented, first generation students, targeting Native American students 6th-8th grade, who have an interest and aptitude in math and science, so that we may involve them in our summer STEM education program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
