Native Student Success System
A guided online planning system that helps Native American high school students stay on track for graduation, college, career, scholarships, enrichment opportunities, and life after high school.
A Clear Path Forward for Native Students
The Native Student Success System gives students access to a structured LearnDash course with grade-level checklists and planning activities. School staff can monitor progress, identify where support is needed, and use the system to guide meaningful follow-up meetings with students and families.
For Students
Students complete grade-level checklists that help them organize important steps for high school success, college and career planning, scholarship preparation, enrichment opportunities, and future goals.
For Schools
A designated school administrator can view student progress, prepare for advising conversations, and provide timely follow-up support based on each student’s completed checklist items.
What Students Work On
Each student moves through a structured set of planning tasks designed to support confidence, accountability, and future readiness.
Clear steps for students in grades 9–12.

Built Around Native-Focused Planning Tools

College Search
Helps students identify colleges that provide Native student support, Native student organizations, cultural resources, and campus-based opportunities.
Scholarship Search
Gives students access to a searchable database of more than 800 Native-only scholarship opportunities.
Pre-College & Cultural Enrichment Search

Designed for Follow-Up, Not Just Completion
The system is designed to help school staff move beyond one-time advising conversations. By viewing student progress, educators can see which checklist items are complete, which areas need attention, and where a student may need encouragement or direct support.
This makes it easier to guide follow-up meetings, family conversations, college and career planning sessions, and culturally responsive student support.
