Native Nations Institute Tribal Professionals Cohort accepting applications
Native Nations Institute
The Native Nations Institute (NNI) at the University of Arizona's Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy is now accepting applications for its 2025 NNI Tribal Professionals Cohort.
The NNI TPC is a professional development program for Indigenous individuals who serve Native communities and was created in 2016 to respond to the realities and challenges facing Tribal professionals today.
The Indigenous professionals selected to participate in the 2025 NNI TPC will strengthen their leadership skills, build their advocacy skills and cultivate a network of Tribal professionals who support each other's career growth while learning proven Native nation building skills from scholars who “literally wrote the book on Indigenous governance,” according to U of A Indigenous Governance Program manager Torivio Fodder (Taos Pueblo).
NNI TPC members will take three masters-level courses on Native nation building from the faculty at January in Tucson – the flagship accelerated educational event for the IGP – with a full waiver for the standard $2250 in associated course fees. NNI TPC members will continue their nation building education throughout 2025 via quarterly online seminars with cohort peers.
TPC applications are open through Oct. 28, 2024.
