K.I.T.A Program The Keeping Indigenous Traditions Alive (KITA) program is a scholarship for Native American students interested in jewelry. It was set up in partnership with CNM’s Bench Jewelry program and the Fuse Makerspace to help students from underserved Native American communities pay for school. Native students often face what seem like insurmountable obstacles in furthering their education. The financial help provided by the KITA program will fill the gaps in funding and allow students to finish their classes. The Scholarship will go towards: school tuition, tools and materials needed for the jewelry program, transportation, and lodging.
