Native American and Tribal Grants
Qualify and Receive Funds for College
There are many financial aid opportunities for Native Americans, AKA American Indians. Most of the aid arrives via scholarships, but some are grants from private or non-profit organizations.
To be eligible, you must prove your ethnicity with a Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB) and also belong to a federally recognized tribe.
Canadian Native American Identification
If you were born in Canada, but still have at least half Native American blood, then you are eligible for benefits. You do not have to deal with the INS, only your school's financial aid office.
They will assist you with filling out your FAFSA form. You should be able to prove your eligibility from signed affidavits from a tribal official, birth records, and other identification from territories or provinces among others.
