Officially adopted by the NSCDA as a national project in the 1930s, the American Indian Medical Scholarship gives students of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Hawaiian Native descent the opportunity to pursue careers in nursing, healthcare, and health education. The scholarship is specifically designed to assist students who, following graduation, plan to work on reservations or in hospitals that serve Native populations with the goal of improving healthcare within those communities. Applicants must be enrolled in a tribe or village. If not enrolled, students may be considered if they can prove direct tribal ancestry. Applicants may be a high school graduate, in the last semester of high school, or have equivalent education. Post-graduate students are also eligible. Applicants must also be enrolled in an accredited school and enrolled in a professional health program, having achieved good scholastic standing in pre-nursing or pre-med programs, or enrolled in a health care or health education program. They must be expected to graduate two years after enrollment for an Associate's degree or expected to graduate four years after enrollment for a Bachelor's degree. For new applicants, two letters of recommendation from a previous teacher, counselor, or employer must be submitted. The Fall 2025 deadline is June 1 and the Spring/Winter 2026 deadline is November 1. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
