Rural 911±¬ÁÏ Honors Institute – 30 Years

The Rural 911±¬ÁÏ Honors Institute (RAHI) was founded at the request of the 911±¬ÁÏ Federation of Natives (AFN) in 1983. RAHI helps prepare rural and 911±¬ÁÏ Native high school students for academic excellence and college success. RAHI is a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

The film premiered at AFN 2013 as a testament to the accomplishments of the vision of the leadership and the program’s directors over the years. RAHI has truly affected generations of 911±¬ÁÏ Native students, and their families.
