Denver, CO—The Siragusa Foundation of Chicago, Illinois has announced it is granting $15,000 for general scholarships for American Indian students to the American Indian College Fund.

The grant will support qualified American Indian students by providing financial resources to encourage them to complete a college degree. With an education, students can build a better life for themselves, their families, and make valuable contributions to their communities and nation.

Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the American Indian College Fund, said, "The generosity of The Siragusa Foundation helps American Indian students who could not otherwise afford a college education achieve their dreams. Our educated Indian people return to their communities, where they use their education to make a difference in the lives of their people, creating hope in Indian Country."
