The American Indian College Fund announced earlier this week that its scholarship season opens on February 1, 2024. Hundreds of scholarships in all areas of study are available for Indigenous students.
Indigenous students attending tribal colleges and universities can receive additional scholarship support.
The College Fund encourages any Native American who is a U.S. citizen and an enrolled tribal citizen, or descendant of an enrolled tribal citizen, of a state or federally recognized tribe are encouraged to apply. Applicants must also have a minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average and plan to enroll as a full-time student at a nonprofit, accredited college or university.
The College Fund will host a free scholarship kick-off informational webinar February 1 at 6:00 p.m. MST.

The webinar will be recorded, and other virtual opportunities will be available throughout the scholarship season on the dates below:

College Fund staff will also conduct in-person recruiting at community events, including the American Indian Higher Education Consortium’s Student Conference, the Stanford Powwow, and the California Indian Big Time and Social Gathering at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt.

This May, we are highlighting our coverage of Indian boarding schools and their generational impact on Native families and Native communities. Giving survivors of boarding schools and their descendants the opportunity to share their stories is an important step toward healing — not just because they are speaking, but because they are being heard. Their stories must be heard. Help our efforts to make sure Native stories and Native voices are heard in 2024. Please consider a recurring donation to help fund our ongoing coverage of Indian boarding schools. Donate to Native News Online today and support independent Indigenous-centered journalism. Thank you.
