![["Senator Fred Harris received a letter from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding the American Indian Program at Harvard University. The program is being funded for the upcoming year through joint funding from the Office of Economic Opportunity, Office of Education, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The program aims to provide education opportunities to American Indian students, with a focus on supporting married students with families. The program has been successful in its first year, with plans to admit more students in the future. The letter urges Senator Harris to contact the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to secure funding for the program at a level above the Bureau of Indian Affairs average to ensure its continuation."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_235_17_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Scholarships,%20A-W,%201971%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_235_17_003_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Funding for the American Indian Program at Harvard University Graduate School of Education")
