Native American Scholarship Links

There are a variety of American Indian scholarships that exist to help students attain a college education that will benefit not only the student, but their families and communities as well. Often times a single scholarship may not cover all the costs of attending college. The great news is that there are many funding opportunities that exist. Make sure to contact your tribe to see what resources they have available to you. American Indian students often qualify for other scholarships for minorities, as well. These awards are often the most substantial, though more competitive.

As an American Indian student, you needn’t limit your scholarship search solely to awards based on ethnicity, though. Other national and campus-based programs also serve American Indians. Scholarships and grants for low-income or first-generation students are options for many American Indian students who meet those criteria. American Indian students who do well academically, athletically, or devote time to other activities shouldn’t rule out finding scholarships based on those characteristics either. If you start early and thoroughly investigate scholarship options, you may be able to fund your education with American Indian scholarships and other financial aid.

We split our list into two categories: Oklahoma Tribal Scholarships and National Scholarship Opportunities. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should be able to get you off to a good start. Click on the links to open them in a new tab.
