The Association on American Indian Affairs provides scholarships to Native American students who are citizens of their Tribal 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 and others. Applicants must be enrolled with their respective Tribe, either federally recognized or non-federally recognized Tribe, from the continental US or Alaska. They must submit a copy of their Tribal enrollment; there is no minimum blood quantum requirement for eligibility. This can be a copy of the student's Tribal I.D. card or a copy of an official letter from the Tribe. Applicants must be directly recognized as a citizen or member of your Tribal Nation. Applicants must be seeking an Associate's Degree or higher at universities, community colleges, tribal colleges, technical colleges, private colleges, and nonprofit and accredited institutions. All schools must be accredited by one or more of the accrediting agencies recognized by the US Department of Education. The Association does not fund certificate programs or seminaries.
