Description

The Association on American Indian Affairs, Inc. provides scholarships to undergraduate and graduate Native students who are citizens of their Native Nation, whether or not their Nation is recognized by the federal government. The Elizabeth and Sherman Asche Memorial Scholarship is funded by an endowment. Applicants must be enrolled with their respective Tribe, either federally recognized or non-federally recognized Native Nation, from the continental US or Alaska. They must submit a copy of their Native Nation enrollment. This can be a copy of the student's Native Nation I.D. card or a copy of an official letter from the Nation. There is no minimum blood quantum requirement for eligibility. Applicants must be directly recognized as a citizen or member of their Tribal Nation. Applicants must be seeking an Associate's degree or higher to qualify. The Association does not fund certificate programs. An allowance is made for applicants obtaining an Associate's degree or higher at a technical school. Additionally, the Association does not fund seminary or theology students. If the applicant is obtaining a non-religious degree such as nursing, at a religious based institution, they would qualify. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
