Why are Native American scholarships so important?
According to the Postsecondary National Policy Institute, 90% of Native American students require some type of financial aid to support college attendance.
CollegeBound Journey offers a unique search feature that matches students to Native American scholarships. Our students rely on external means to fund their education. Therefore, it is imperative for Native students to discover scholarships to cover college-related expenses.
Our Scholarship Search feature is currently the most comprehensive, Native American scholarship database available. With over 500 listings, the CollegeBound Journey Scholarship database includes:
- Firstly, tribe sponsored scholarships, BIE Higher Education scholarships, and incentive programs.
- Secondly, private foundation opportunities, including business and organization sponsored scholarships.
- Additionally, state specific Indian Higher Education aid programs.
- Further, tuition waiver availabilities for Native American students.
- Lastly, in-state tuition opportunities for Native American students.
Previously, our students had to search the internet for hours to find scholarships. Unlike most online scholarship databases, our Scholarship Search feature only contains Native American scholarship and other financial aid opportunities. Therefore, our students can find scholarship matches more quickly. Users can search for scholarships based on one or more of these features:
New scholarship opportunities are added as they become known. The database information is verified and updated by January each year. As a result, users will always have the most up-to-date scholarship information to potentially fund their education.
