7th Generation Community Services Corporation in Titusville, Fla., will award a full scholarship toward a veterinary technology degree to a person of American Indian heritage who is financially unable to go to college.
7thGen is a non-profit corporation committed to collaborative ventures that assist Native Americans to achieve their self-determined goals for economic and community growth.
Through a two-year veterinary technician program, 7thGen’s intent is to provide a Native American individual with the opportunity to become certified in a skill that would not only enable the individual to increase their personal productivity and income but also contribute to the socio-economic growth of their community.
The selected candidate will earn an associate degree in veterinary technology at Brevard Community College in Cocoa, Fla., which is located near the 7thGen offices. The college is collaborating with 7thGen to ensure the scholarship recipient a spot in the accredited program. A 7thGen Board member will provide part-time, paid employment in his veterinary practice. The program will begin in January 2008.
7thGen encourages submission of applications by June 30. Log on to www.7thGeneration.org and follow the link to download and print the application form, or contact Connie Ashworth by phone, (888) 385-0207, or at info@7thGeneration.org.
