AAIA's Scholarship Program
AAIA has a long history of providing scholarships to college students, awarding our first scholarship in 1948. Over the years our scholarship program has grown to the current eight scholarships for graduate and undergraduate students from federally recognized and non-recognized tribes.
AAIA's scholarships are funded entirely by individual donor contributions-- AAIA currently does not receive corporate or foundation funding for its scholarship program. We are grateful to the many, many individuals who have contributed toward the education of Native students and have made our scholarship program possible.
AAIA scholarships are very competitive. We receive over 500 applications per year. Therefore, students are asked to submit one complete application package only. You will be considered for all scholarships for which you are eligible.

Meet the People Behind AAIA's Scholarships
AAIA is fortunate to have generous donors that make our scholarship program possible. Not only have many individuals made contributions to the organization, but several individuals have named AAIA as a beneficiary in their will, enabling Native students to have the chance to reach their educational goals. Because AAIA currently doesn't receive any funding from corporate sponsors or foundations for our scholarship program, the number of scholarships vary from year to year.
