Native American Health Sciences receives WSAC Regional Challenge Grant

Washington State University’s Native American Health Sciences was selected as one of five recipients of the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) Regional Challenge Grant, receiving nearly $250,000 to support pathway programs.  

The Regional Challenge Grant program awards competitive grants to regional partnerships that work to increase postsecondary attainment and credential completion, and close opportunity gaps for students.  

The WSU Native American Health Sciences partnership will coordinate K-12 and college-centered pathway programs in the health sciences for Indigenous youth and adults across five tribal lands of our state, including the Spokane Tribe of Indians, The Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Yakama Nation, and The Kalispel Tribe of Indians.
