Virtual grad walk honors Native students and traditions


March 31, 2025

As some colleges cancel Indigenous graduation ceremonies, Native scholarship organizations are ensuring students’ cultures remain celebrated. Native Forward Scholars Fund, alongside the American Indian College Fund, AISES, and Cobell Scholarships, is hosting a virtual graduation regalia walk. Native graduates are invited to share photos and videos showcasing their moccasins, ribbon skirts, beadwork, and other cultural regalia. This online event highlights the strength, resilience, and achievements of Native students.
