Important notice to

All full-time students must submit verifi cation that they have applied
to a scholarship outside the Tribe before funding will be released for the
term/semester. Verifi cation can include a scholarship award or denial
letter, e-mail verifi cation that an application was submitted, a copy of
the application or the fi nancial aid award letter that lists an outside
scholarship. Please contact Education at 1-800-422-0232, ext. 2275, if
you have any questions. n
Looking for scholarships?
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. The Tribal Higher Education
programs are here to assist you in your application process. If you use a
scholarship search site, be sure to read the privacy policy to ensure you
are using a site that will not sell your contact information. A recommended
search site to use is www.kaarme.com.

September is Library Sign-up Month: If you are a Tribal

Donations: Many thanks to the following contributors to the
library collection: Garry Williams, Kathleen George, Janet Titus,
Tiffany Mercier, Candi Buswell and the Health and Wellness Clinic,
the Japanese Immersion School, Denise Harvey, Shasta Simmons
and Terri Dilts. We appreciate the great additions to the library
collection.
Reminder: Donated items must be clean and in good condi-

Oregon State Library to offer “library to library” inter-library loan
services. By completing the inter-library loan form, library patrons
may request items from the Oregon State Library collection. OSL
