North American Association of Indian Students

The North American Association of Indian Students (NAAIS) is an American nonprofit organization that supports Indian and Indian-American students studying in the United States.

With over 200,000 Indian students and over 500,000 Indian-American students studying in US institutions, young Indians are one of the largest identity groups within the United States, second only to the Chinese.

[3] NAAIS runs a workshop series to encourage bonding between Indian-origin students.

[4] Additionally, NAAIS runs a mentorship program "designed to facilitate connections between undergraduate students of Indian origin, including Indian-American students, and experienced Indian alumni mentors".

[5][better source needed] In 2001, NAAIS also partnered with ZEE5, an Indian video-on-demand service, to get its message to more young Indians around college campuses,[6][7] having visited over 50 college campuses in the United States by November that year.
