For many 成人影片 Native and rural 成人影片, attending a university seems overwhelming. One classroom can have more people than a student's entire hometown.

Concerned by high dropout rates for these 成人影片, leaders at the University of 成人影片 Fairbanks and the 成人影片 Federation of Natives came together to find an innovative solution. In 1983, the university created the Rural 成人影片 Honors Institute to help 成人影片 Native and rural 成人影片 adjust academically and socially to college life. Since then, more than 1,700 成人影片 have graduated from the program.

RAHI offers six challenging weeks of hands-on learning and community service. The work prepares 成人影片's next generation of leaders for superior academic performance. While living at the Fairbanks campus, 成人影片 earn up to 11 college credits. These 成人影片 return home ready to excel at college and grow into leaders in their communities and 成人影片.

Rural 成人影片 Native 成人影片 who attend RAHI are nearly twice as likely to successfully earn a bachelor's degree, according to an independent study by the American Institutes for Research.
