The Native Education Forum is a five‑day summer program held on the Colorado State University campus for rising high school juniors, rising high school seniors, and incoming CSU freshmen. Participants gain firsthand university classroom experience, explore issues critical to tribal communities, and receive valuable guidance from professionals on the university application process.
During the program, students connect with CSU faculty, staff, and current undergraduates as they discuss, analyze, and evaluate topics that impact tribal communities. These conversations, combined with immersive academic activities, help students build confidence, develop new skills, and envision their future pathways in higher education.
