“Native Education Forum provided me with the opportunity to meet other Native students also searching for the perfect college fit. Attending this program allowed me to explore NC State’s campus and resources, convincing me that this was the university I wanted to attend. NEF is a worthwhile program full of opportunities for young Natives seeking higher education.” – Kasey Cooper, Current NC State Student | |

“NEF is a way for the university to build relationships with tribal communities. It allows us to show the youth the benefits of getting a higher education, so they can continue to help our communities grow.” – Justin Richardson, Admissions Counselor |
