The Vital Link to a Brighter Future
The intent of the Indian Scholarship Program is to assist Native American students in obtaining a basic college education. To that end, priority in making awards will be given to undergraduate full-time students. In order to provide a reward as well as an incentive to students with high academic achievements, those applicants with a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or above, shall be given priority in funding. Grants may range from $700 to $2,000 depending on scholastic ability, funds available, total number of applicants, and financial need.
Eligibility
