Scholarship Resources for Students

NIEA serves as a resource for Native students because we want to see every American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian student excel. To help students ease the burden of higher education costs, NIEA lists scholarship and grant opportunities. If you know of additional scholarship opportunities to list, please contact NIEA by e-mailing niea@niea.org.

NIEA awards the John C. Rouillard and Alice Tonemah Memorial Scholarship each year to deserving full-time undergraduate, masters and doctoral students who are American Indian, Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian. Applications for the 2012 Scholarship will be available beginning in April 2012 with a deadline of August 1, 2012.  For more information, please visit the NIEA Scholarships and Internships webpage.

NIEA wants to make sure that every Native student knows about other funding opportunities to help them succeed in their academic career. For more information on other organizations who offer scholarships and internships, please visit the Scholarships for Native Students webpage.
