Welcome to Sharing A Vision For Generations |
Based in the Kansas City area, SHARING A VISION FOR GENERATIONS began raising funds to award scholarships to American Indian women attending accredited tribally chartered colleges in 2002. Our first scholarships were awarded to outstanding female students at Oglala Lakota College on the Pine Ridge Reservation. In 2006 Sinte Gleska University on Rosebud Reservation was added to the scholarship program. Members of SHARING A VISION FOR GENERATIONS have been traveling to the Pine Ridge Reservation since 1995 building relationships and friendships. In 2004 we became "SHARING A VISION FOR GENERATIONS," named by Elder and Oglala Lakota College Trustee, Marie Randall. We are currently awarding scholarships to outstanding enrolled female students in OLC's Graduate Lakota Leadership/Management degree program; undergraduate students in OLC's Applied Science & Technology Program; second year students in OLC's Nursing Program; and undergraduate students in the Lakota Studies Program at SGU.

Our Mission: To provide economic assistance to American Indian women pursuing higher education. Our Vision: To encourage and support American Indian women to pursue their dreams and contribute to the preservation of their culture, heritage, and community. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE By investing in the education of Native American women, you make it possible for them to gain the skills and training they need to work their way out of poverty. As these women become educated, the health of the family improves and they teach their children the importance of gaining an education. But they don't stop there. Native Peoples place such a high value on family and community, these women also work to improve their communities. |
