Abstract	Data derived from student evaluations of two conferences on educational opportunities for American Indian youth are presented in this document. Evaluations derived from the first conference are analyzed in terms of the 10-item questionnaire and the 205 responses made by junior and senior high school students attending workshops on higher education scholarships, health careers, vocational training, careers in the 70's, and college pre-orientation and tours of the various institutions of higher learning in Albuquerque. These responses reflect: primary interest in college rather than vocational education; the successful dissemination of useful information; positive attitudes toward Native American conference speakers; and concerns regarding more variety in the fields of interest presented in future workshops, smaller groups, and more explicit information on the available funding sources. Data derived from a 5-item questionnaire administered to student participants (N=751) at the second conference are analyzed in terms of: information benefit; speaker impact; information relevance; the physical set-up of the conference; and overall conference success. These responses indicate: the information presented was beneficial (49% of the students said it was very beneficial); the speakers were interesting (45% said the speakers were very interesting); the information was relevant (43% said it was very important); and the overall impact of the conference was positive (91% rated the conference from excellent to fair).
