AIEF Undergraduate Scholarships: How to Apply
The AIEF Undergraduate Scholarship program * supports educational opportunities for American Indian and Alaska Native students by awarding more than 200 scholarships annually. AIEF also offers a free guide to help Native Americans pursue higher education: Tools for Success — A Guide for High School Seniors, Families, Counselors and others…. **

Applications submitted by eligible students each spring are reviewed by members of the AIEF Scholarship Committee, who award the competitive grants. Up to $2,000 per year is paid directly to each recipient’s college or university***. Grantees must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.0 and submit grades to AIEF each semester.

Application Process

  1. Submit a completed AIEF Undergraduate Scholarship Application.
  2. Provide documentation of tribal enrollment for yourself or a parent.
  3. Provide transcripts with ACT and GPA scores.
  4. Enroll in an accredited technical school, college, or university as a full-time undergraduate.

All undergraduate students who meet the above criteria are encouraged to apply for an AIEF Scholarship. Please note, the deadline for 2010 scholarship applications will end on April 4th, 2010. For more information on scholarships in general, call 1-866-866-8642 (toll-free) or email mlee@nrc1.org.

Awarded students will be notified by July 1st if they have been selected to receive an AIEF scholarship. Due to administrative costs we do not notify non-awarded students.


* AIEF now offers Graduate Scholarships.
