Scholarship Announcement
The American Indian Education Foundation is dedicated to serving Native American students who have resided on reservations across the country. Every year we are able to grant over $200,000 worth of awards. Because so many Native American students are faced with financial hurdles when planning their journey through college, the AIEF wants to do everything we can do to support these students.

In addition to monetary funding, the AIEF provides a mentoring component to the students who are participating in our program. Throughout the year students are supported by us through care packages, phone calls, birthday cards and whatever else we can do to make their time in college more comfortable.

Applicant Criteria:
  • Native American or Alaska Native descent
  • Attending an accredited or 2 or 4 year college/university or
  • technical/vocational school
  • Must be enrolled as a full-time student
  • An ACT score or 14 or above is desirable
  • Scholarships are only for undergraduate studies.
