Celebrating Twila Miner, 2021 Nelson Scholar

Today, Twila uses her unique vantage point to explore the experiences of Native students as they navigate paying for college一and to help them along the way.
The Nelson scholarship supports Native graduate students focused on education. Applications for the 2022 award close on March 31.
