Funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Indian Education, Project 3C will provide American Indian students with experiences and skills necessary to: accomplish goals successfully, increase similarities between their interests and career choices, and broaden their college and career opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The project is open to American Indian students, grades 1-12, from the Lumbee Tribe's Service Area (Cumberland, Hoke, Robeson, and Scotland counties). American Indian families and tribal communities will play a key role in the academic success of student participants. The consortium is comprised of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, Public Schools of Robeson County, Robeson Community College, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
