Earth Day Clean Up With
Kateri and Kaiya
Thank you to our friends and neighbors
in Chical who came out early on a
Saturday morning to help pick up
trash and take pride in making our
neighborhood beautiful!
In honor of Earth Day, Kateri (7) and
Kaiya (5), own their own initiative,
created flyers and invited neighbors
in our area to join them in picking
up trash. After concern that no one
would come out to join them early on
Saturday, April 24, many of our friends
and neighbors came out ready to help.
Together we filled an entire truck bed
and we saw that our efforts made a
difference. Kateri and Kaiya encourage
others in our Pueblo to come together
and do the same. They saw that we can
make a big difference when we work
together. It was beautiful to see them
leading this effort and Mama and
Daddy were so proud of their work!
Congratulations, girls!Page 8 Isleta Pueblo News June 2021
Pueblo of Isleta Veterans Association
Higher Education
Sponsorship Criteria
As per the Charter of the Isleta Pueblo Veterans
Association, the Pueblo of Isleta Veterans Association,
henceforth referred to as POI/VA, was formed in 2010
and encompasses veterans who have served in the
United States armed forces with honor and heroism
during times of war and peace. As a nonprofit charity,
POI/VA provides assistance to member veterans,
spouses and pueblo members at large. The services
include but are not limited to financial support for
scholarships.
It is the goal of POI/VA to fulfill the mission of the
organization by providing two (2) $1,000 scholarship
awards to senior high school students per academic
year, recognizing outstanding academic achievement,
extracurricular participation and exceptional
leadership as well as the desire to serve in the United
States military. This is a one-time scholarship award.
The POI Department of Education will support the
goal of POI/VA of awarding scholarships by providing
information on high school seniors majoring in
the preferred fields, providing scholarship award
information to school counselors, posting of award
flyers and assisting in following up with Isleta tribal
member recipients who are being funded primarily
through the POI Higher Scholarship Award program.
Preferences for scholarship awards are as follows:
o Preference will be given to students attending
accredited public institutions in New Mexico;
out-of-state institutions will be secondary;
o Preference will be given to Pueblo of Isleta
tribal members;
o Preference will be provided to students
pursuing higher education or a vocational
education;
o Preference will be provided to students on a
need-only basis and if there is not a need-only
student, the award will be given to a no-need
student;
High school senior students endeavoring to pursue
a scholarship from POI/VA will follow the following
process:
• Students must provide a letter of interest
summarizing their extracurricular participation,
evidence of exceptional leadership in their school
or community, and a copy of their transcript
showing a GPA of 3.0 or better;
• Students shall submit at least two (2) letters of
recommendation/support;
• Students must provide an acceptance letter
from the institution in which he/she has enrolled
by April;
• The scholarship award will be used for tuition
purposes only. The award will be made out to the
name of the institution and the student. Should
the award recipient drop out or is suspended
during the first year, the student must return
the entire scholarship amount to POI/VA. The
student must sign an agreement assuring POI/
VA that he/she will return the full scholarship
award should good standing not be achieved;
• The recipient will provide a copy of each
semester/quarter transcript to POI/VA within
three weeks after the end of each semester/
quarter of the first year to demonstrate good
academic standing.
Submittal of scholarship information will be made
