Hundreds of scholarships in all areas of study are available for Indigenous students with the American Indian College Fund. The College Fund’s scholarship season opens on February 1, 2024. Indigenous students attending tribal colleges and universities can receive additional scholarship support.

The College Fund encourages applications from any Native American who is a U.S. citizen and an enrolled member, or descendant of an enrolled member, of a state or federally recognized tribe. Applicants must also have a minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average and plan to enroll as a full-time student at a nonprofit, accredited college or university.

The College Fund will host a free scholarship kick-off informational webinar February 1 at 6:00 p.m. MST. To attend please register online at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TxHxRBkeQlKe6SxFnTyquA#/registration. The webinar will be recorded, and other virtual opportunities will be available throughout the scholarship season on March 20, April 9, April 25, and May 23.

College Fund staff will also conduct in-person recruiting at community events, including the American Indian Higher Education Consortium’s student conference, the Stanford Powwow, and the California Indian Big Time and Social Gathering at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt.

The priority deadline to apply for scholarships is May 31, 2024. Students can visit https://collegefund.org/students/scholarships/ for further information.
