May 2019 SSC Graduate Angela Miller-Mack

receives $5000 Cobell Scholarship AND

a Military Scholarship!

Seminole State College NASNTI September 2019

SSC empowers people for academic success, personal development, and lifelong learning

During the spring 2019 academic year, NASNTI sponsored

The Scholarship Hour, an hour dedicated to assisting SSC students

with completing and submitting application for scholarships.

From campus and transfer scholarships to Tribal and non-Tribal

Scholarships, every Tuesday, Seminole State College students had

the opportunity to prep and listen to advice on scholarship

submissions.

The Scholarship Hour also designated time to help students organize

their professional min-portfolio! Resume, college transcripts, a

professional photo, and any additional personal documentation was

scanned and saved on the student’s flash drive. Students who took

advantage of this NASNTI service now have the opportunity to have

easy access to important and much-needed documentation when

applying for future scholarships! NASNTI set a goal to help 25

students submit scholarship applications and met 60% to goal. During

this academic school year, NASNTI will team up with the SSS STEM

Program to sponsor The Scholarship Hour, which means more

assistance! Preparation is also underway for a scholarship portal

starting spring 2020! Keep watching for more information!

An SSC Student Scholarship Success Story

Angela Miller-Mack, a non-traditional student, Blackfeet Nation Tribal

member and a participant of The Scholarship Hour, took

advantage of the tutoring labs and scholarship assistance offered from

SSS STEM and NASNTI. She received her Associate’s Degree in

Health and Science in the 2019 May SSC Commencement!

This year, she was awarded two scholarships: The Cobell Scholarship

and a military scholarship! She is currently continuing her education

towards her Bachelor’s Degree. Congrats to you, Angela!

“Life is like a coin.

We get to spend it

any way we like—but

we only get to spend

it once.”

Lillian Dickson Independent missionary,

author and public speaker

Back when the telegraph was the fastest method of long- distance communication, a young man was looking for a job as a Morse Code Operator. He answered a newspaper ad and went to the address listed. When he arrived, he found a large, busy office filled with noise and clatter, including the sound of the telegraph in the background. A sign on the receptionist’s counter instructed job applicants to fill out a form and wait until they were summoned to enter the inner office. The young man filled out his form and sat down with seven other applicants in the waiting area. After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally, the other applicants perked up, wondering what was going on. They muttered among themselves that they hadn’t heard any summons yet. They assumed that the young man who went into the office had made a mistake and would be disqualified. In a few minutes, however, the employer escorted the young man out of the office and said to the other applicants, “Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, but the job has just been filled.” The other applicants began grumbling, and one finally spoke up. “Wait a minute,” he said. “I don’t understand. He was the last to come in, and we never even got a chance to be interviewed. Yet he got the job. That’s not fair!” The employer said, “I’m sorry, but all the time you have been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message in Morse code: IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE, THEN COME RIGHT IN. THE JOB IS YOURS. None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did.

The job is his.”
