Native American Professional:

  • If you attended a higher education institution, what helped you feel like higher education was for you? Was there a moment or person that made a difference?

  • What kept you moving forward when things got tough during your journey—school, work, or otherwise?

  • How do you bring your Native American values into the work you do now?

  • What do you wish you knew in high school about all the ways to build your future—especially beyond the “traditional” college route?

Native American College Student:

  • What made you choose your current path — whether it’s a Tribal college, community college, university, trade program, or certificate?

  • What helped you feel like higher education was for you? Was there a moment or person that made a difference?

  • What was the biggest challenge after high school, and how did you push through it?

  • How do you stay connected to your culture or give back to your Native American community while in school or training?

  • What would you say to a Native American high school student who isn’t sure that higher education—or any training—is meant for them?
