“Spirit Game: Pride of a Nation is the best documentary ever done on a Native sport and stands alone in placing a game within the broader context of the fight for Native rights.” – Joanelle Romero
When: Wednesday July 12 6:30pm-8:30pm
Where: Pitzer College, Benson Auditorium
Luggage Policy: Due to space limitations, all participants are allowed a maximum of two (2) pieces of luggage. This is a strict policy and the Native Youth to College Program will not be responsible for paying any luggage fees incurred by participants. A sleeping bag and bedding (Sheets, blankets, pillows, etc) are required.
Pitzer’s dormitory-style living quarters feature a bed, mattress, desk, chair, shelves, closet and set of drawers. At Wishtoyo, plan to layer clothing, as weather conditions tend to change from cool and damp in the mornings to bright, warm, and windy during the afternoons. On the trip to Wishtoyo, students will only be allowed to bring one (1) bag and a backpack.

Hi!
I am happy to announce that the 2016 Student Application is now available in PDF form to download. It is available under the 2016 student applications tab or right here below.
2016-native-youth-to-college-student-application(1)
The application comes in two parts:
Part 1: You fill out the application, your essay, resume, transcript, etc. The recommendation form is included in Part 1.
Part 2: Once part 1 is successfully completed, you will receive Part 2 – the medical forms, the rules and regulations, etc.
Once both parts are turned in with all your materials, your application will be completed.
Note on the Online Applications: There is no save-for-later feature on the online application. Your work will be saved when you are actively working on. But once you close the browser, it will be gone. So tip: write all your answers on a word doc and then input all your information at once.
Thank you for your patience as we work things out!
Good Morning Everyone!
It’s already February and just the other day it was January 1st, 2016!
Recommendation Links for both 2016 Mentor and Student Applications are now available.
Mentor Recommendation Link: http://forms.pitzer.edu/cec-mentor-recommendation-form/#gf_36
Student Recommendation Link: http://forms.pitzer.edu/cec-student-recommendation/
You can also find either of these by clicking on the 2016 Applications and then either the Student or Mentor Application tab in the Dropdown menu.
Please remember, you need 2 recommendations from someone who knows you and your work well – a teacher, a mentor, a boss, etc.
It’s never too early to ask for recommendations if you are applying for the program.
