Bartlett, a United States Senator, informs Brenda Lynn Cotter that the BIA Muskogee office is continuing funding for Wyandotte students until a final determination is made on their eligibility for educational assistance. Brenda, a college junior, received a letter stating her grant will be terminated due to not meeting the blood quantum requirement. She appeals this decision as it is crucial for her to finish college and receive her degree in Special Education. She requests assistance from Mr. Ruth in appealing the decision and continuing her education.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
