More About Sequoyah Fellows
The AISES Lifetime Membership program was named in memory of Sequoyah, the great Cherokee Indian who perfected the Cherokee alphabet and syllabary in 1821, resulting in the Cherokee Nation becoming literate in less than one year. In this spirit, AISES Sequoyah Fellows are recognized for their commitment to AISES’ mission in STEM and to the American Indian community. They bring honor to AISES by engaging in leadership, mentorship, and other acts of service that support the students and professionals in the AISES family.
The Sequoyah Fellowship offers individuals a symbolic way of embracing the spirit of Sequoyah. Individuals that make a one-time membership payment of $1,000 or more to AISES become Sequoyah Fellows. Through the thoughtful support of Sequoyah Fellows, we continue to contribute to the growth of professionals, students, teachers, and academic communities. AISES programs have reached thousands of American Indians and sparked their creativity, interest, self-awareness, and leadership in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Sequoyah Fellows are also lifetime members of AISES. For their one-time membership fee of $1,000, AISES' Sequoyah Fellows receive:
