Contribution to Indian University of North America

The INDIAN UNIVERSITY OF NORTH AMERICA® began with the Summer Program, which is one piece of the greater vision.

The Summer Program is a partnership between Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation and the University of South Dakota. Applicants that are accepted into the program receive a full tuition scholarship. This summer program offers students the ability to earn transferrable college credits, paid internships and scholarship opportunities.

Summer Program participants have the opportunity to earn:

• Complete first full semester of college over the summer.
• College credits earned can be transferred to a college or university of choice for continued study in the fall semester and beyond.
• Study, live and work at the beautiful Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
• Participate in numerous educational and cultural activities.
• Receive a scholarship for summer tuition, books, instructional supplies and a portion of food and lodging.
• Compete for additional scholarships.
• Learn habits of success needed for college and for life.
• Participate in a paid, credit-bearing internship (students also have opportunity to continue working after completion of the program in order to earn extra for the fall semester.)
• Study with fellow students from across the United States.
• Be a part of a global and engaging college experience, meet people from around the world.
• Opportunity to earn back 50 percent of food and lodging costs at the end of the summer through a special incentive program.
