NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With lack of
access to tools and support needed to prepare for college, only 17
percent of Native Americans continue their education after high
school, according to the Partnership with Native Americans. Their
community is the second least likely to graduate from either high
school or college, according to the New
York State Education Department. To enhance growth in
college admissions among this community, myKlovr has offered the
first-ever virtual college counseling platform to Native American
communities across the nation, connecting with about 600 leaders of
Native American tribes.

Dino Beltran, Vice Chair of the
Koi Nation, invited myKlovr to introduce its virtual college
counseling platform to the leaders of 22 tribes participating in
The United Pomo Nations Council meeting in Northern California on Sept. 26. The tribal leaders are also working to
increase college readiness and admissions. Ideal for communities
where previous generations are less familiar with the college
application process, myKlovr virtual college counseling uses data
analytics and artificial intelligence to provide college-bound
students with personalized guidance and individual action plans.
The holistic guidance is not limited to just academic
performance.
"At myKlovr we leverage the power of technology to increase
every student's chances of educational success regardless of
background. Native American communities have faced limited access
to college education, which can negatively affect life
opportunities, and we wanted to take action in a more positive
direction." said Gustavo G. Dolfino, founder and CEO of
myKlovr. "With limited human resources at the disposal of Native
American students, initiatives undertaken by a number of NGOs,
state and federal institutions are falling short. We aim to fill
this vacuum with our cutting-edge technology
solution."
Recognizing that Native American students start at a
disadvantage based on their high-school graduation rate, myKlovr
connected with their community to support a stronger
college-planning process.
The myKlovr platform benchmarks a student's profile against U.S.
college admissions data and best-in-class practices to identify
opportunities and best-fit schools. Starting with 9th
grade students, it provides every college-bound student with
college prep advice, college planning guidance, college search
assistance and more.
"Every student deserves the same access, tools and
information when it comes to college planning. Every student
deserves the same chance of success." Dolfino added. "We are
proud to level the playing field with easy-to-access online
resources for college."
