Standing pat on its commitment for supporting the American Indian College Fund, Nissan North America announced that it is donating $85,000 for its College Scholars Program. The new grant will fund ten tribal college scholarships and five mainstream scholarships for American Indian scholars.
Aside from this, Nissan North America, Inc. also provided $20,000 for the Fund’s 20th anniversary gala fundraising event to be held in Denver at the Seawall Ballroom, Denver Center for the Performing Arts October 28 to bring in further scholarship donations.
“Thanks to the support of our valuable corporate partner Nissan, American Indian college students will be closer to their dream of achieving a higher education so that they can make a better life for themselves and their families,” said Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the Fund. “This support is even more meaningful in a time when so many are facing increased hardship,” Williams said.
Despite the turmoil befalling businesses today, you have to admire the efforts in maintaining its commitment to education and future executives of the world. Hopefully Nissan can sustain this program to help individuals and the economy as we all try to get by this unfortunate economic situation we are in today.
