AIS College Scholarship

The American Indian Services (AIS) College Scholarship program provides financial support to undergraduate Native American and Alaska Native students attending accredited colleges and universities in the United States. The scholarship is designed to help students maintain enrollment and graduate by addressing financial need. Awards are need-based and allocated directly to the student's school. The program offers two annual award cycles: the September Award for Fall semester (deadline July 1) and the January Award for Winter/Spring semester (deadline November 1). Applicants must be enrolled members of a U.S. Federally Recognized Tribe or direct descendants of base roll members, maintain a minimum 2.25 GPA after their first term, and complete the FAFSA. The scholarship supports undergraduate students pursuing their first bachelor's degree who are enrolled at least part-time (minimum 6 credits per term).
