Association on American Indian Affairs Scholarships (Deadline: May 31, 2023)

May 22, 2023 By The FinancialAidFinder Scholarship Team

Who Can Apply:

  • The Eastern Association on Indian Affairs was started in New York in 1922 to assist a group of Pueblo people seeking to protect their land rights. The following decades saw it growing and merging with other like-minded organizations and it became the Association on American Indian Affairs (AAIA) in 1946.
  • Over the years AAIA has played an integral part in drafting a number of important laws, including the Indian Child Welfare Act, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and the Tribal Governmental Tax Status Act. We have established organizations like the Medicine Wheel Coalition for the Protection of Sacred Sites and negotiated landmark agreements to protect sacred lands such as the Bighorn Medicine Wheel/Medicine Mountain in Wyoming. We have awarded scholarships to Native American college and graduate students from both federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribes.
  • AAIA is a national Indian organization with offices in Maryland and Rhode Island. We are governed by an all-Native American Board of Directors from across the country. Our programs fall into three main categories: youth/education, cultural preservation and sovereignty.

Submission:

  • Submit a copy of Tribal enrollment (there is no minimum blood quantum requirement for eligibility). This can be a copy of the student’s Tribal I.D. card or a copy of an official letter from the Tribe. You must be directly recognized as a citizen or member of your Tribal Nation.
  • Attend an accredited institution seeking an Associate’s Degree or higher (the Association does not fund certificate programs or seminaries).
  • Provide essays described in the application that show the student’s connection to their Tribal Nation and Indian Country.
  • Attend an accredited institution seeking an Associate’s Degree or higher (the Association does not fund certificate programs or seminaries).
  • minimum 2.5 out of 4.0 GPA.

Deadline: May 31, 2023

Amount: Varies
