This Spring, we were thrilled to open applications and honor our first awardees of the Marvin Oliver Endowed Memorial Fund Scholarship. The Honoree's surviving family hopes this fund may help to recognize students within American Indian Studies for their academic successes, artist innovations, and/or leadership within the community. We chose 4 students who embodied the spirit of the scholarship, including Marvin’s trait of honoring his gifts by sharing them and paying it forward.

Are you inspired by the amazing work our students and faculty are doing here? If so, consider giving to support out work - whether that's our Sacred Breath: Indigenous Writing and Storytelling series bringing renowned artists like Arigon Starr to Seattle, supporting guest lecturers like Nigel Lawrence teaching our students about the traditions and history of Tribal Canoe Journey, or our own students flying across the country to speak with Native filmmakers as part of an independent study. Gifts to the American Indian Studies department provide resources to develop and create these programs and more for our students, our campus, and our larger community. All gifts are tax deductible and truly make a difference.
