Education is one of the most important cornerstones of economic mobility and self-sufficiency. It is also a crucial factor in addressing the long-term challenges Native Americans face every day – while most Americans are unaware.
Did you know:
Due to systemic failures and unrealized treaty promises, half of Native students are not finishing high school. You can help us change this! Your community needs you. Every gift made to our North Texas Giving Day campaign today will benefit a Native college student in North Texas!
Typically, only about 20% of Native Americans who start college complete their first year, because of the tremendous culture shock and financial strain. That’s why we offer much more than just funding. Our scholarship recipients also receive fall welcome packs, spring care packs, laptops, mentoring and holiday care packages to help ensure their success. (1)
The goal of our education service is to increase access and retention so that more Native students have the resources and encouragement they need to learn and succeed, from pre-kindergarten through college and career. By harnessing the power of education, these future leaders can bring about positive changes in their own lives and communities – in this case your community.
With you, we can positively impact the lives of Native students from North Texas, support their education and help them achieve their dreams. Please help us reach our modest goal of $4,500 this year by making your most generous gift before midnight on September 22nd!

Partnership With Native Americans (PWNA) is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to championing hope for a brighter future for those living on remote and impoverished reservations. We are a Native-led, Native-serving nonprofit that aids remote tribal communities faced with limited resources. Collaborating with our tribal partners, we provide immediate relief and support long-term solutions for strong, self-sufficient Native American communities.
For over 30 years, we’ve worked alongside tribal community partners to improve social equity and quality of life for Native Americans. For funding to be fair and relevant, non-Native organizations need to be more NativeAware. Take education, for example. It's a cornerstone of economic mobility – but can only be achieved through racial and social equity, especially for Native Americans. That's why we support Native scholars locally and across the country. It takes social justice, corporate social responsibility and a sustained effort to counterbalance the concentrated poverty Native people face.
PWNA raises its voice for accurate Native history, racial and social equity, and realities on the reservations to ensure more people become #NativeAware.
