While nearly 50% of Native American students drop out of high school, the students at Navajo Preparatory School in Farmington, N.M., have college in their sights. To help them succeed, the school provides a rigorous academic program in a structured residential environment.
For the 2012-13 academic year, Eve’s Fund awarded $1,000 scholarships to six students at Navajo Prep, which will cover all required student fees. These motivated young people are challenging themselves academically while learning important skills such as self-discipline and time management.
