There are numerous scholarship opportunities offered for students to apply to
each year. The majority of scholarships for fall term/semester are due between
January and April of each year. Don’t miss your chance to apply for free money
for college. The Tribal Higher Education programs are here to assist you in
your application process. You also can utilize a scholarship search engine to
help locate scholarships. If you use a scholarship search site, be sure to read

Important notice to
full-time students
All full-time students must submit verification that they have applied
to a scholarship outside the Tribe before funding will be released for the
term/semester. Verification can include a scholarship award or denial
letter, e-mail verification that an application was submitted, a copy of
the application or the financial aid award letter that lists an outside
scholarship. Please contact Education at 1-800-422-0232, ext. 2275,
