Check Out the American Indian Graduate Center

We need to do a better job of helping minorities enter scientific and engineering fields. Here is one resource that is working toward that goal with Native Americans.

The American Indian Graduate Center (AIGC), a 501 (c) (3) private non-profit organization, was established in 1969. AIGC was incorporated in the state of New Mexico in 1971.

Founders Robert L. Bennett (Wisconsin Oneida) and John C. Rainer (Taos Pueblo) created the program to assist American Indian college graduates to continue their education at the master's, doctorate and professional degree level.

American Indians continue to be the least represented of all minority groups in the country in fields requiring advanced degrees.

AIGC was founded to help open the doors to graduate education for American Indians and to help tribes obtain the educated Indian professionals they need to become more self-sufficient and to exercise their rights to self-determination.
