On June 25, 2026, the Native American Health Center (NAHC) was honored to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Seven Generations (7G) Scholarship Fund at our new Flicker Cultural Community Center—the first large community event hosted in our new building.
This year, we proudly awarded $60,000 in scholarships to 33 recipients, continuing our commitment to supporting Native students and NAHC staff as they pursue higher education and achieve their goals! We also celebrated 11 7G Scholarship recipients who graduated from their schools of choice, honoring their academic achievements.
During the celebration we honored Sophia Taula-Lieras, MSW (Umatilla, Nez Perce, Cayuse, and Walla Walla) for 10 years of dedicated service on the 7G Scholarship Committee. Her leadership and commitment have been instrumental to the success of the program. We were also grateful to welcome Eddie Madril (Pascua Yaqui) as our emcee and keynote speaker, who shared inspiring words celebrating the strength of Native culture, education, and community. We also recognized and honored our longstanding 7G Scholarship sponsors, whose generosity and continued partnership have helped sustain the program and make it possible to award scholarships to recipients for the past decade.
A special thank you to Natalie Aguilera, NAHC CEO, whose vision, leadership, and commitment have shaped the program over the past decade and created lasting educational opportunities for Native students and NAHC staff.
Thank you to our scholarship recipients, families, donors, sponsors, volunteers, committee members, and community partners for helping make this milestone celebration so meaningful!
Congratulations to all of our 2026 Seven Generations Scholarship recipients and graduates!
