Los Angeles, CA June 29, 2012

Crystal Jensen, President and Founder of Integrity Technologies, Inc., and Doctor of Learning Technologies student in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University in West Los Angeles, CA, was named American Indian College Fund Scholar for the 2011-2012 school year. This scholarship is funded through the organization’s partnerships with corporate and private donors, and is generally based upon merit.

The American Indian College Fund was established in 1989 to provide scholarships to American Indian students and to fund and create awareness about the community-based accredited tribal colleges and universities that offer students access to knowledge and skills alongside Native culture, language, and values. In support of their motto, “educate the mind and spirit”, the American Indian College Fund  provide support to students attending 33 accredited tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), as well as non-tribal institutions, that have a focus on American Indian language and cultural preservation and revitalization.  They have consistently received high accolades from independent charity evaluators, such as the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, the American Institute on Philanthropy, and Charity Navigator.
