AFTER RECEIVING THE U.S. Department of Education’s Alaska Native Education Grant in 2010 the Koniag Education Foundation set a goal to reduce the dropout rate among its Alutiiq shareholders currently in college over three years' time. Instead they reached their goal in just two years - the college dropout rate fell from 20% in 2010 to 3% in 2012.
Executive Director Tyan Hayes credits the power of mentorship for the success.
She spoke with KTD producer, Sarah Gonzales.
