Plateau Native American Trust Scholarship

The Plateau Native American Trust Scholarship is offered by Lewis-Clark State College to support enrolled members or individuals with at least one-quarter blood quantum from specific Plateau tribes. The scholarship is designed to assist Native American students pursuing undergraduate academic or technical programs leading to a certificate or degree. Recipients must be full-time students carrying twelve or more credits per semester (though part-time students may be considered based on circumstances), and must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 for college students or 2.75 for high school applicants. Financial need, academic performance, and individual family situations are considered by the selection committee. Award amounts vary depending on the student's financial needs analysis and the number of awards given in a particular year. The scholarship may be renewed for students who continue to meet eligibility criteria.
