Interested in Teaching?

Research shows that Native students tend to do better in classrooms where their educator shares a similar identity. Become a teacher and be the difference in our students' lives! NATRI offers direct counseling support with the college application process from start to finish.

Once enrolled, NATRI provides undergraduate students with up to $3,000 per semester in financial assistance. While students are completing their program, NATRI also provides both financial and academic support in completing the MTEL (Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure).

For Native American teachers already in the field, NATRI provides a $750 stipend per semester to assist with classroom needs. The NATRI program also puts forward various professional development opportunities and infield supports.
