To better reflect our scholarships and serve our students, you may notice a difference in our scholarship names. We will be migrating the new names onto our web site and in all of our communications materials.
The new name for our general scholarships is The American Indian College Fund Tribal College and University Scholarships.
The new name for special scholarships is now The American Indian College Fund Full Circle Scholarships.
We are learning when the U.S. government entered into trust and treaty relationships with Indians Tribes as sovereign nations, the federal government instead used much of the money held in trust for Native people to forcibly relocate their children to boarding schools.
The 2024 winning Tribal College Blanket Design, Infinite Prayer, designed by Jenabah Yazzie (Diné), is now available for purchase. Chosen from over 40 submissions, the blanket is the latest addition to Pendleton Woolen Mills’ American Indian College Fund collection. The heritage brand has created wool blankets in partnership with the College Fund for more than 20 years.
