Grace V. Nixon English Institute
While HOIST focuses on promoting Native American high school students' interests in
STEM- field careers (science, technology, engineering, and math), we encourage
Language Arts teachers to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the
Grace V. Nixon Institute through the Department of English at the University of Idaho.
Through this program, teachers can earn graduate-level English credit free of tuition costs.
