Undergrad and Grad Scholarships
The Association on American Indian Affairs has been providing Native American student scholarships since 1947 and provides scholarships to undergraduate and graduate Native students who are citizens of their Native Nation – whether or not their Nation is recognized by the federal government.
The Association’s scholarships are funded by an endowment from the Elizabeth and Sherman Asche Memorial Scholarship, the Homborg Scholarship and the Mary Hemenway Memorial Funds, AND DONORS LIKE YOU! The Association's scholarships are provided to students twice per year until they graduate, as long as they maintain a 2.5 GPA and attend full-time. Our mission is to support students who are connected to their Native Nation and Native Country and wish to utilize their degree to serve their Nations. |
We are proud to partner with the American Indian College Fund!
