About This Scholarship

The American Indian Education Fund Graduate Scholarship is a program that provides financial assistance to American Indian and Alaska Native students who are pursuing postgraduate education. The scholarship is awarded by the American Indian Education Fund (AIEF), which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities to Native American communities.

The AIEF Graduate Scholarship is designed to help students pursue graduate-level degrees in a variety of fields, including business, law, education, engineering, medicine, and social work. The scholarship provides funding for tuition, books, and other educational expenses, and recipients are selected based on their academic achievements, leadership potential, and commitment to their communities.

The AIEF Graduate Scholarship is highly competitive, with a limited number of awards available each year. However, for those who are selected, it can provide significant financial support to help them achieve their educational and career goals.
