Why Use This Book?
If you are a Native American (American Indian, Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian, Native Samoan, or other Native Pacific Islander) who is looking for financial aid, this is the directory for you. Described here are 1,400 scholarships, fellowships, loans, grants, awards, and internships--representing billions of dollars--open specifically to Native Americans. This money can be used to support a whole range of activities, including:
- study
- training
- research
- creative activities
- future projects
- professional development
- work experience
The listings cover every major subject area, are sponsored by hundreds of private and public agencies and organizations, and are open to Native Americans at any level, from high school and college through professional and postdoctoral.
What Information is Provided?
Finding the money you need has never been easier. The directory has been designed so you can quickly identify available funding by specific subject, sponsor, title, residency requirements, where the money can be spent, type of funding, and deadline date. Plus, every piece of information is here that you'll need to decide if a funding opportunity is right for you: purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date. You even get fax numbers, toll-free numbers, e-mail addresses, and web sites, along with complete contract information.
This directory has been prepared as part of RSP's four-volume Minority Funding Set. Each volume in the set focuses on a different minority group. Financial Aid for Native Americans can be purchased separately or at a discounted price as part of this set.
