Native American college planning begins with CollegeBound Journey™, which offers a range of services to address the gaps in culturally responsive college counseling, with a strong focus on cultural protective factors. CollegeBound Journey™ provides tools for discovering colleges that are culturally supportive, securing Native American scholarships, and accessing pre-college experiences that honor and integrate Native traditions. We are dedicated to serving Native American students, helping them reach their educational goals by fostering cultural identity and resilience.

Our platform is designed for students, schools, and anyone who supports Native American students. This innovative tool promotes equity, cultural responsiveness, and the importance of cultural protective factors in the college planning process.

There’s the saying, ‘Education is the new buffalo,’ because historically the buffalo gave us food, clothing, and shelter…we need to look to education to give us those things.
