Chief Washakie Memorial Fund

Education offers the greatest opportunity for improvement from one generation to another. 

For many Native American students, education—especially higher education—has been the route to an improved quality of life. The Chief Washakie Endowment promotes cooperation between UW and the Wind River Reservation—educating graduates who are grounded in their own culture and are also prepared with the social, civic, and work skills they need to live and contribute to a multicultural global society. The spirit of the award assumes that the recipients have, as part of their ultimate goals, some direct participation, appropriate to their educational background, in activities that will further the common good of the people of the reservation. 

Thank you for supporting Native American students through the Chief Washakie Memorial Fund!
