Native American Students Scholarships

Native Americans experience lower enrollment and educational attainment numbers in colleges and universities across the country, in some cases due to a lack of access to financial aid. At Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), students rely primarily on federal funding, as state funding and private endowments provide little aid. According to Poverty USA, Indigenous Americans experience the highest poverty rates among all ethnic groups, highlighting the great need for financial support. While there is still a shortage of programs, this page highlights several Native American scholarships available to support these underserved students.
