Can I get help with college for being part indian?

Question

Some one told me that the state would help pay for school if I have indian in me, well my grandpa is full blooded indian and my grandma is part indian which means my dad is I guess half and I'd have indian in me, how do I go about proving that and where do I go to find out how to apply..any suggestions, I really want to go to school, I never had the opportunity when I was younger and I really can't afford it, if this is true and they'll help I'd love to find out how...thanks.

Answer 1

Yes. Lots of money out there for you. Don't waste the golden opportunity. google Native American scholarships, and FOLLOW THROUGH with the paperwork. Also talk to your school guidance counselor or community education advisor. DO IT> My friend Chuck had all of his education taken care of and he is able to move mountains now without mountains of debt.

Answer 2

Your first step is to find out how you can be a member of your tribe. What nation/pueblo/tribe were your grandparents members of? If they were members of a federally recognized tribe, contact the tribal government office and ask how you can receive a Certificate of Indian Blood. Your tribe may offer educational scholarships for its members.

Your second step is to complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This form will help determine your eligibility for federal financial aid, including grants and loans.

Your third step is to start searching for scholarships. This can be an arduous process, but can be well worth it.
