If you're looking for scholarships specifically tailored to Native American Indian students, there are several organizations and initiatives to consider. Here are a few you might find helpful:

1. American Indian College Fund: This organization provides scholarships for American Indian and Alaska Native students attending tribal colleges and universities.

2. Association on American Indian Affairs: AAIA has a Displaced Student Scholarship fund for students of federally recognized tribes affected by natural disasters.

3. Indian Health Service Scholarship Program: This is specific for students in the health professions.

4. American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES): AISES provides a number of scholarships for students studying in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

5. Daughters of the American Revolution American Indian Scholarship: This scholarship is available to any Native American student wanting to study at the undergraduate or graduate level.

It's important to read each scholarship's specific eligibility criteria closely because some may have specific requirements. Remember, many scholarships may require additional documentation to prove tribal affiliation.

In addition to the above, be sure to search for scholarships offered through the Pomo Tribe itself as well as your local and state governments. Your school's financial aid office and your tribal education department can also be great resources for scholarship information.

Also remember to check out Appily, an online tool that has a college scholarship database. By setting up a profile, you can search for scholarships that match your individual needs, including being a Native American Indian student.

Finally, don't limit yourself to only applying for scholarships specifically for Native American Indian students. There are thousands of scholarships out there based on a variety of factors including academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, community service, and career interests.
