 AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS:

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does, and to anyone and everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated money for scholarships to African Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest or awareness.

No one is going to knock on our doors and ask if we can use a scholarship.

Take the initiative to get your children involved. Money shouldn't be returned to donating companies because we fail to apply for it.

Please pass this information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children etc. We must get the word out that money is available. If you are a college student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful additional money can be.

http://www.indian-affairs.org/ Since 1922, the Association on American Indian Affairs has been dedicated to helping Native people and their communities in meeting the challenges they face. One of these challenges is that of paying for a higher education. AAIA assists college students in meeting this challenge through our eight scholarship programs. AAIA offers two graduate fellowships, one scholarship which is open to graduate and undergraduates and five undergraduate scholarships, one of which is available to students from tribes that are state recognized but not federally recognized. AAIA depends on the generosity of our donors to fund our scholarship programs, therefore, availability may change from year to year. (Last checked 10/24/08)

http://www.indian.hklaw.com/2008/index.asp The Young Native Writers Essay Contest is a writing contest for Native American high school students and is designed to inspire honest portrayals of the richness of Native American life and history. The contest is a program of the Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation. Students responding to this year's writing contest should present in an essay of no more than 1,200 words, a) specific or general struggles and/or triumphs of Native Americans in history or in today's world, based on the students experiences and scholarly research; and b) how the writer will use his or talents to enhance the future of his or her own Native American community. Subject suggestions include, but are not limited to, Native American involvement in treaties, governments (Federal and Tribal), languages, education, folklore, religion, entertainment, health, nutrition, media, sports, and current events. The following prizes will be awarded to winning essayists: five first-place winners will each receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., (tentatively scheduled for June 22-27, 2008) to visit the National Museum of the American Indian, and other prominent sites. The winners will be accompanied by the teachers who inspired their entries into the contest. First-place winners will receive a special award for display at home or school. In addition, each first-place winner will receive a scholarship ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 each to be paid directly to the college or university of their choice. The contest is open to all Native American Indian and Alaska Native high school students who are enrolled members of a state- or federally-recognized tribe. Also included are high school students enrolled in alternative schools, as well as those who are home schooled. For further information, see the program's Web site. (Last checked 10/24/08)
