Calling All Former AAIA Scholarship Recipients

We are often asked if we ever hear from our previous scholarship recipients. If you were a previous AAIA scholarship recipient, please send us an update about what you are currently doing. We would love to hear from you and be able to let others know how our students are making a difference in Indian Country and the world!

​Summer Camps

​For many years AAIA has provided small seed grants to tribes and Native-run organizations for their youth summer camp programs that focus on language preservation, cultural preservation or diabetes education/youth health and wellness. Our summer camp budget is small. We rely on outside funding sources and are extremely grateful for the generosity of our donors. Because we depend on outside resources, our ability to fund summer camps may change from year to year.

The deadline for the Summer Camp application is June 3, 2016. Those camps that will be held prior to June 4th should submit their proposals immediately and contact the Summer Camp Coordinator directly at 240-314-7155. Summer camps that are being held prior to the June 4th must submit their proposals prior to the start of their camp to be considered. Camp proposals received after their camp has taken place (even if the proposal is received before the proposal deadline) will not be awarded. If awarded, funds will not be disbursed prior to the start of your camp. Funding will be disbursed as soon as possible after the proposal deadline.
