Important notice to full-time students
All full-time students must submit verification that you have ap
plied to a scholarship outside the Tribe BEFORE funding will be
released for the termsemester. Verification can include a scholar
ship award or denial letter, e-mail verification that an application
was submitted, a copy of the application or your financial aid award
letter that lists an outside scholarship. Please contact Education at
1-800-422-0232, ext. 2275, if you have any questions.
Still waiting to hear how much
aid your will receive?
If you are still waiting to hear how much financial aid you will receive
from your collegeuniversity for the upcoming academic year, make sure
you have submitted all of your required paperwork to the Financial Aid
Office. Oftentimes all that is missing is a simple form. Until all require
ments are met, your award will be on hold. Don't wait until last minute to
submit your paperwork! It generally takes several weeks to process your
award once you submit all of your required paperwork. The easiest way
to check the status of your award is to log on to your student info page
with your collegeuniversity and look on the financial aid page.

Seeking Photos of Tribal veterans: We would like to put
together an "Honoring Our Veterans" photo display in the Tribal
Library. We want to have as many of our Tribal veterans repre
sented as possible so we are asking for everyone's help in gathering
and sending in photos. Photos can be sent directly to the Library.
Please include name, branch and time of service for each person
in the photo. Due to limited space, please keep size to 5-by-7 inch
for individual photos and 8-by-10 inch for group photos. We would
like to get the display up before Veterans Day. Your help and par
ticipation is appreciated in making this project a success.
