Current GER²I Research

Project HOPE + (Grant)

Made possible by generous support from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation and building on previous work in GER²I, Project HOPE+ provides scholarships and travel costs for 60+ high-potential Native American students on Navajo (Arizona), Standing Rock (South Dakota) and Red Lake (Minnesota) Reservations to attend GER²I summer residential academic programs, beginning during the summer of 2012. Project HOPE+ also seeks to validate methods for identifying talent among underrepresented students.
