Another Successful Year to Celebrate

 

Native American Summer Institute is celebrating another successful year of providing Native American high school students a phenomenal pre-college opportunity while exposing them to the University of Wyoming and all it has to offer; please consider supporting NASI!

The Native American Summer Institute (NASI) is a 6-day residential summer pre-college program designed to familiarize Native American High School Students (current 9th-12th grade students) from the Wind River Reservation, surrounding communities, and the town of Laramie. The participants are exposed to a full college experience by staying in the residence halls, attending academic workshops, and participating in activities on and off campus, as well as Native American cultural activities to promote and maintain their cultural identity. NASI helps build leadership skills, and new relationships with peers, UW faculty and staff, and current UW Native American college students. NASI continues to build and maintain partnerships with Native American communities, the UW campus, the city of Laramie, and within the State of Wyoming. Every year, NASI is seeing tremendous growth with participant applications from the Wind River Reservation and now other tribal communities in the region. With all of our growth, it is vital that we continue to expand and give our native youth an opportunity that can push them towards attaining a higher education degree and pursue their lifetime goals. Your support can do that; please consider being a sponsor of our phenomenal Native American Summer Institute!
