Native American Scholarship Database for high school students entering college in 2018-19

Created by Tami Johnson – Licensed School Counselor 2005/updated annually

These scholarships are available specifically for Native American high school students. Students should be encouraged to apply to ALL other

sources of financial aid for which they are eligible.

Helping students with Tribal Enrollment Questions

Students might need help understanding tribal enrollment procedures or may need to determine if their tribe is federally recognized for scholarship

purposes. Here are some links of tribal lists and tribal numbers. Students must call their tribe to ask about tribal enrollment eligibility and process.

The enrollment process and timeline varies by tribe; it’s recommended that students compile their documentation as juniors or at the start of their

senior year.

List of Federally Recognized Tribes and Phone list: http://www.ncai.org/tribal-directory

List of State Recognized Tribes: http://500nations.com/tribes/Tribes_States.asp

U.S. Department of the Interior/Trace Indian Ancestry: https://www.doi.gov/tribes/trace-ancestry

Common Documentation

CDIB or Tribal Enrollment Letter: Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (a.k.a. CIB, enrollment letter, letter of descent) is a document from the

tribe’s enrollment office showing the fraction of tribal blood for that member or descendant. Students should request documentation from each

tribe from which they descend. *Some tribes will not give CDIB’s for descendants; students should explain it is for scholarship purposes and see if

the tribal enrollment office is able to provide any documentation showing their blood quantum. Some tribes may also have residency requirements

for enrollment.

Birth Certificate: If not already tribally enrolled, students seeking enrollment, will need a copy of their birth certificate and maybe their parent(s)

to prove lineage to the tribe from which they are requesting a CDIB.

Recognition of Parentage: If a parent’s name is not on the birth certificate, a tribe might accept a Recognition of Parentage form-
