David Risling Emergency Aid Scholarships
The Association on American Indian Affairs offers David Risling Emergency Aid Scholarships in amounts ranging from $100-400 for acute, temporary emergencies (eviction, daycare dismissal, utility disconnections...). Applications for this scholarship are not considered during the "regular" scholarship process - it is available during both fall and spring semesters for emergencies that arise during the fall and spring semesters only. Students may not apply for funding due to circumstances which occurred during the summer. Tuition, books, computers and expected expenses are not considered emergencies. Students may receive only one scholarship per academic year. If you are a recipient of one of our other scholarships, you are not eligible for emergency aid. If you have questions about whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, contact Lisa Wyzlic at lw.aaia@verizon.net or 240-314-7155. Scholarship disbursement is based on availability of funds. If awarded, turn around time is approximately 2 weeks.
Please mark outside of mailing envelope "Emergency Aid".
