Scholarship Program for Indigenous Native and Alaskan Students (SPINAS)

Monroe Community College and the PRISM Multicultural Center acknowledges the Indigenous People of Western New York.  We honor the sovereignty of the Six Nations-the Mohawk, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Seneca and Tuscarora and their land.  Monroe Community College and the Native American SUNY Western Consortium have collaborated to help advance and enhance services to Native American and Alaskan indigenous students who attend MCC. 

The SPINAS program is a combination of students meeting once a month to discuss topics that influence and help the indigenous communities and to focus on career goals. By being involved students will earn scholarship funds (ranging from $1,000.00 to $3,000.00 dollars) a semester.  To qualify students must attend at least one of the informational seminars listed below.  They will be given information about the scholarship program, and will have the opportunity to ask questions.  All students who are interested will then apply online Scholarships Online.  The deadline date is October 31st, 2021 for applying. 

Informational sessions (listed below) are held in the PRISM Multicultural Center Building 1 Room 108. 

The PRISM Multicultural Center is working to create outstanding examples of culturally responsive interactions, programs, mentoring and advising to help Native students succeed.
