Founded in 1971, The Native American Support Program (NASP) is the oldest state office in Illinois created for supporting Native American students in higher education. We are dedicated to promoting academic success and achievement for all students, with a focus on American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Native Pacific Islander community membership, culture, and heritage.
