Tribal Scholarships

Native American students who wish to seek financial assistance from their respective tribes must apply for financial aid using the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA). Native American students should have an application on file with their respective tribal scholarship office. The following documents are usually required from most tribal scholarship offices:

- Tribal Scholarship Application
- Tribal Financial Need Analysis (FNA) form
- High School Transcript
- Letter of Admission
- Certificate of Indian Blood
