The American Indian Graduate Center
Deadline: June 1
Each year, the AIGC fellowship program provides $1,200,000 in fellowships to over 400 Native American and Alaska Native graduate students. Graduate fellowships are monetary awards made to American Indian and Alaska Native graduate or professional degree-seeking students, who meet all eligible criteria. The United States Bureau of Indian Education federally funds the fellowship program. The fellowship amount is typically between $1,000 and $5,000 per academic year (not including summer), and varies from year to year, depending on the availability of funds and unmet financial need.
Eligibility:
- Pursuing a post baccalaureate graduate or professional degree as a full time student at an accredited institution in the U.S.
- Able to demonstrate financial need.
- An enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native group, or provide documentation of descendency (possess one-fourth degree federally recognized Indian blood).
For applicants who submitted an AIGC Fellowship application by the deadline and need the Tribal Eligibility Certificate (TEC) and/or Financial Need Form (FNF). Please check the needed forms in their website: http://www.aigcs.org/scholarships/online-application-instructions/
