Applications submitted by eligible Native American students each spring are reviewed by members of the Scholarship Committee, who award the competitive grants. Up to $2,000 per year is paid directly to each recipient’s college or university (We do not fund online postsecondary institutions). Grantees must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.0 and submit grades to us each semester.

American Indian Education Fund, a program of PWNA, offers scholarships, literacy programs, and school supplies to help end the cycle of poverty. Education is one of the most important cornerstones of self-sufficiency and quality of life. It is also a crucial factor in addressing the long-term challenges on the reservations we serve. This helps tie in to our vision, which is strong, self-sufficient Native American communities.
