Students participating in BSU’s Niganawenimaanaanig Program—named for an Ojibwe word meaning “we take care of them”— receive scholarships up to $4,000 and monthly stipends of up to $500 for meeting specific program requirements. Students are required to attend weekly meetings and goal-setting sessions with a faculty mentor, participate in scheduled activities and attend assigned tutoring or study sessions.<\/p>\n

Students in the program met as a group for the first time on Nov. 17<\/a>, where they met with Dr. Margaret Moss, assistant dean for diversity and inclusion and associate professor of nursing at the University of Buffalo.<\/p>\n
