Tribal Scholarships

Academy College connects students with Tribal Scholarships, which are external funding opportunities provided by individual Native American tribes. This program is designed for eligible students of American Indian descent who wish to pursue their postsecondary education. Because these awards are administered directly by the individual sovereign nations rather than the college itself, the specific award amounts, eligibility criteria, and application procedures will vary depending on the sponsoring tribe.

To pursue these opportunities, students must apply directly through their respective tribal education office. Since these are independent tribal programs, they operate outside of the standard federal and state financial aid systems. However, students are still encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish eligibility for other federal, state, and institutional aid programs at the college. For current deadlines, applicants should see the official page for current dates and consult with their tribal education representatives.
