URBANA – The students at Oglala Lakota College, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota – some of the poorest college students in the nation – struggle more than most to pay for school.

About three-quarters of the 1,300 to 1,400 students are eligible for Pell grants – federal grants available to low-income college students. But most of the students are women, many of them single mothers with both financial and child care issues to consider.
