American Indian students lose federal aid
■ ASSISTANCE: A program intended to
help Native-American students through
graduate school was cut by SO percent
Brook* Bryant
>'nai;«»nw»»
Between rifting tuition coats and federal cut
back*, finding enough money to pay lor collage Is
never easy.
Few an estimated 300 American Indian student*
across the nation, including some here at the Uni
vanity, thi* yaar'ft SO percent decrease in (edarat
funding to the American Indian Graduate Center
(AtGCi mean* yet another door of opportunity
rioaad These students will have to look elsewhere
for the money to pursue their graduate education,
or forgo it altogether
The A ICC. is a nonprofit organisation which
was established in 1B70 lu goal, according lo
Reginald Rodrigues, eaecutlve director of the can
ter. is to provide mure opportunities for American
Indian student* to pursue graduate studies
“Not enough Indian* ware going to graduate
school to get professional degree* and continue on
with their education." Rodrigues said.
Working in cooperation with the Bureau of Indi
an Affair* the AIGC. has helped American Indian*
all over the country gain err*** to higher educa
tion
In J090. the AIGC's federal funding was cut
from $2 ft million to St 3 million, which means
that tl*ev will not be able to accept any new grad
uate student* into thru program for the 1996-1997
academic year Thi* it quite a c hange from previ
out years, when they have generally ac cepted
between 300 and 400 new applicant* eac h year
“I guess it'§ a *tgn of the time* now," said Uni
versity graduate ttudent Jason Younker. who
receives money from the AIGC to pursue his
degree in anthropology
"Everything is getting tight It's unfortunate, ail
of us having io rely cm the government." Younker
himself is unaffected by the cuts because the cen
ter will not discontinue its support of students cur
rently in the program
The AKU: will maintain the 425 students they
are currently helping to support, and there la hope
for other students sometime in the future as the
current students graduate and no longer need the
program's assistance,
Rodriguez said that in years to come, the 200 to
250 spots left vacant annually by graduating stu
dents will be filled by new applicants
Students receive anywhere from $250 io $6000
from the AfGC. based on a scale of need The
scholarships do not provide any of lha students
with a full ride, but instead go to supplement
funds they gel from various outside sources.
Rodriguez said
"Congres* has cut e lot of Indian programs They
Just kind of hacked and whacked eway at them."
Rodriguez said "We have been cut and it doesn't
look like it's going to be put beck in."
