The American Indian College Fund reports that "given the low earning levels endemic to many reservations and the dearth of opportunities for jobs, low income levels constrain family contributions toward higher education."
Many families today are struggling to cover the rising costs of fuel and food, let alone higher education. On the Reservation, helping children achieve a college diploma can be especially difficult.
