Promoting Individual Success to Create Positive Change for Future Generations

American Indian Services is utilizing the power of education to create a better future for Native Americans. Through their scholarship and AIS Prep program, indigenous youths can achieve their dreams and create a better world for future generations. Their new website serves as a resource for young students to not only apply to their programs and find other helpful resources, but also to be inspired by the incredibly successful students who’ve made it through the programs.

A website at the intersection of

visual appeal and full functionality

In 2017 AIS’s website was clunky and difficult to navigate, with an out-of-date design. They needed a site that clearly explained who they are and what they do, easily processed applications and donations, and had simple navigation for finding resources and success stories.

One of the primary functionalities of the website is to allow students to apply for the AIS Prep program and scholarships. Developing the site to integrate with their new application software allowed them to do just that. A searchable database of over 500 schools allows students to quickly find information about scholarship programs for a multitude of schools. A news widget on the right-hand side is just one of the ways visitors can be inspired by the incredible students benefiting from the organization.
