NEF is a five-day virtual summer program for rising high school seniors and incoming first year CSU students. Students will gain university classroom experience, earn one academic credit, research issues critical to Native American/Indigenous communities, and get valuable assistance from professionals in the university application process. During the program, students will have the chance to interact with university faculty, staff and currently enrolled students as they discuss and evaluate important issues that affect indigenous communities.
The 2021 Native Education Forum will be held in a virtual setting (via Zoom meeting platform) over five days (June 21-25). Applicants who enroll in the program are expected to actively participate to their comfort level during each session, each day (up to six hours/day). Participants who meet those requirements may be eligible for a Partnership Award Scholarship to attend CSU. Certain accommodations can be made for students as needed. Please contact program director, Danita Ordaz, with questions about participation expectations or accommodations.
