" On Tuesday the presidents of New Mexico�s four tribal colleges asked lawmakers to allow their students to be eligible for the state�s Lottery Success Scholarship, presently open to students attending public and community colleges. The administrators say that as residents of New Mexico, their current (or potential) students have a right to be included in the state-wide program.
They also contend that allowing students at the tribal schools access to the scholarships will encourage more Native American students to attend and stay in college.
Including students at the state�s tribal colleges in the lottery scholarship program would make a real difference not only to students, themselves, but to the Native American community and to the state, both of which can only gain by having a more educated workforce to draw upon. "
