Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Local business leaders will work with about 3,700 eighth-grade students at four Arizona school districts this spring in an effort to get them to take tougher courses during their high school years.

A more rigorous curriculum with more math, science, language arts and social studies could exceed the minimum requirements for graduation. But it would pay off for the students in the long run with better jobs, acceptance to better colleges and, ultimately, higher salaries.

That’s the message the Arizona Business & Education Coalition hopes to instill in students with its recently developed Arizona Academic Scholars program.
