Empowering Native American Families on the CollegeBound Journey
Honoring the strength of Native families by blending cultural knowledge with practical tools to support students on their journey to college and career success.
Culturally Grounded Resources for Native American Families
At CollegeBound Journey®, we know college planning is more than applications and deadlines—especially for Native American families. It’s about honoring identity, values, and community while navigating a system that often overlooks cultural relevance.
Why Native American Families Need Culturally Responsive College Support
Native American students face some of the lowest college enrollment and completion rates in the U.S. Systemic barriers—including lack of access to tribal scholarships, culturally unfamiliar campuses, and limited representation—can create challenges. That’s why CollegeBound Journey was built: to help Native American families access tools designed specifically with cultural identity in mind.

Our platform provides tailored features to help Native American families support their students on the college path. You’ll find:
A searchable college database that includes Tribal affiliation, Indigenous language programs, Native student organizations, and tuition waivers.

Culturally pre-college search tool to help your student stay rooted in identity while reaching towards college.
