The letters provide information on the funding and benefits available under the Bureau's Scholarship Program, as well as the need for increased funding to support more students. The Bureau also discusses the disparity between benefits for vocational training and academic education under different programs and suggests equalizing funding for both. The letters include estimates of the number of students that could be served with adequate funding and request support for equal availability of funds for college students and vocational trainees. Additionally, information about a Special Scholarship Program in Law for American Indians at the University of New Mexico is enclosed for consideration."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_197_20_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%201970/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_197_20_003_thumbnail.jpg "1970 Correspondence Regarding Scholarship Programs for American Indians")
