Salt Lake City, United States - March 23, 2021 /PressCable/ —
American Indian Services (AIS), a non-profit charity for Native Americans in Salt Lake City, Utah, announces its updated scholarship program. The 501(c)(3) organization provides college scholarships for Native Americans to over 400 accredited colleges, universities, and trade schools.

Scholars need to apply once a year under Award III for each academic year, which is either Fall to Spring/Winter or Fall to Summer, depending on the school of their choice. The scholarship program is awarded to undergraduate Native American students and may cover half of the tuition.
Recent sociology studies have noted that Native Americans remain an underrepresented group, particularly when it comes to higher education. A variety of factors may be at play, but experts say that financial challenges are a major reason why many Native Americans do not pursue an undergraduate degree.
AIS fills this need with its scholarships solely for Native Americans. To be eligible, students need to demonstrate their ancestry from any of the 300 federally recognized tribes and be academically proficient. Students must also submit the necessary educational documents to American Indian Services.

The charity group guides students with their application to their dream school, including helping them write their application letter and teaching them how to answer confidently during the interview. If AIS is unable to help students secure an in-house scholarship, it will assist applicants to look for other Native American-specific scholarships or grants.
The Native American scholarship offered by AIS comes in one of two forms, one for students attending a tribal school or university, and another for those who attend a non-tribal college or university. AIS provides annual scholarships for both types.
Spokespeople at AIS say, “Lots of American Indian college students find themselves in a position where they cannot readily pay for school. We help students that are dedicated to beating the odds stacked up against them and earning a degree.”
