Due to increased enrollment in the Higher
Education Program, the current funding level cannot
address all student applications and cannot provide for
students' entire financial need. This has forced the
Education Program to establish a "Waiting List" for

Program is not able to process Higher Education
applications until Fall Term, 1994.

browse through these booklets. The following are examples

Continuing Students
Because of the increase in new student applications
each year, we have instituted a deadline for all continuing
students. If a student is currently in school and will be
attending school next year, he she must have a copy of the
Federal Student Aid Application submitted to the tribal
office by February 15, 1994. If we do not have a copy of the
filing, we will drop students from the priority listas "continuing
students", and they will compete with new students for
financial assistance. The requirement is targeted at Adult
Vocational Training and Higher Education.
Grade Reports & Transcripts
We had a number of students who failed to provide
their Fall Term grade reports to us. When this happens, a
"hold" is placed on the check until a grade report is provided.
This process is inconvenient and time consuming for the
Education Department, the College Financial Aid staff, and
you, the student. Please submit your grade reports to us be
fore the beginning of the next term. If your school does not
complete grades until the following term has begun, contact
the registrar and have your grades sent directly to the tribal
offices. Thank you!
