As an Arizona Native American student, I'm looking for college scholarships that might be available to me. If anyone knows about specific scholarships or grants for Native American students in Arizona, I'd really appreciate the help!
Absolutely, there are several scholarships specifically aimed at supporting Native American students in their pursuit of higher education. Here are a few you might want to consider:
1. American Indian Services Scholarship: This scholarship is open to members of federally recognized tribes who are enrolled in undergraduate programs. The amount varies, but it can help cover portions of tuition.
2. Association on American Indian Affairs Scholarship: This program offers multiple scholarships for undergraduate and graduate Native American students from tribes in the continental U.S and Alaska.
3. Indian Health Service Scholarships: These scholarships are for American Indian and Alaska Native students pursuing health-related degrees. Keep in mind, recipients will be expected to fulfill a service commitment in a health facility serving an American Indian community.
4. American Indian Graduate Center Jr. College Scholarship: This program provides financial aid to American Indian and Alaska Native students attending tribal and non-tribal colleges.
5. Arizona Resident Tribal Members Scholarship: This scholarship by Cochise College is targeted directly at Arizona resident tribal members. Requirements include being of 1/4th native American blood and a member of a recognized native American tribe.
Remember to also check with your tribal council, as they may offer scholarships exclusively for members. Lastly, don't forget to fill out the FAFSA to be considered for federal financial aid as well. Good luck in your scholarship search!
