The North Carolina American Indian Fund Scholarship program aims to assist American Indian students in obtaining higher education by providing scholarships to students who demonstrate a commitment to the American Indian community, extracurricular and volunteer involvement, financial need, and academic success. Applicants must be enrolled in a state- or federally-recognized tribe (with documentation), demonstrate sustained involvement in the American Indian Community and commitment to American Indian concerns and initiatives, and have family residency in the state. There is a preference for NC-state recognized tribe members. They must be high school seniors or currently enrolled in a post-secondary institution, and plan to pursue a 2-year or 4-year undergraduate degree at an accredited public, private, or technical college or university. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Triangle Community Foundation for more information.
