Association on American Indian Affairs Scholarship

Running since 1947, this scholarship fund supports undergraduate and graduate students who are citizens of any Native Nation, federally recognized or not, with no minimum blood quantum: $1,000 per semester, renewable until graduation. Applicants write an essay connecting their studies to their Native Nation and submit proof of citizenship; the application is processed through the American Indian College Fund's portal.

Eligibility

DemographicsMust be an enrolled citizen of a federally or non-federally recognized Native Nation (no blood-quantum minimum). No fee to apply; recipients receive free annual Association membership as part of the award (not a paid entry gate).

Applying
