Scholarship For Children Of Disabled, Deceased, Combat And POW/MIA Veterans

Details

Established in December of 2001, the North Carolina American Indian Fund is a collaborative effort of North Carolina American Indian tribes and organizations.  It was established in response to an understanding that resources for meeting the human and economic needs are limited, including scholarship assistance, funding for community based health, human services, education programs, and tribal organization infrastructure.

Recognizing that gaps in funding for education needs put Indian communities at risk in many areas, education was selected as the first priority to address these critical gaps.  The North Carolina American Indian Scholarship Fund will assist American Indian students in obtaining higher education by providing scholarships to selected applicants each year.  The number of scholarships awarded will be determined by the funds available for distribution each year.

Scholarships are for full-time students pursuing post-secondary education (two- or four-year degrees only) at any accredited college, university, community college, or trade school.
