- Description:
- Mrs. Ruby Frang wrote a letter to Senator Fred R. Harris asking for assistance in obtaining a scholarship for her son. Senator Harris contacted the Bureau of Indian Affairs on her behalf, but it was determined that her son did not qualify for their assistance as he was less than one-fourth degree Indian. However, other sources of financial aid for American Indian students were provided to Mrs. Frang, and it was suggested that her family's financial situation may qualify them for assistance based on need. Senator Harris expressed his willingness to help further if needed.
