Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission Announces New Scholarship Program

Last updated on Wednesday, October 21, 2015

(INDIANAPOLIS) - The Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission announced the passing of their new Scholarship Program for Indiana’s Native American students attending Indiana colleges and universities.

The Scholarship Program will offer four scholarships in the amount of $2,500 each for the academic school year, and five scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each for summer school students. The program is projected to begin with the 2016 summer school classes.

Opportunities like this are made possible by the people of Indiana purchasing the Indiana Native American license plate. Other programs created by the license plate money include the education forum being offered to students during Native American Heritage Month, which will help them learn more accurate information about Native peoples.

Details about the Scholarship Program will be released as the program is developed. The public is invited to sign up on the INAIAC website to receive updates at www.IN.Gov/INAIAC.
