About This Scholarship

The NCAIED 40 Under 40 Awards is an annual recognition program organized by the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development (NCAIED). The awards aim to honor young Native American and Alaska Native leaders under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions in their respective fields and communities.

The NCAIED 40 Under 40 Awards recognize individuals who have demonstrated excellence, leadership, innovation, and a commitment to advancing Native American economic and business development. The program encompasses various industries and sectors, including business, entrepreneurship, government, education, and nonprofit organizations.

The specific criteria, nomination process, and selection process for the NCAIED 40 Under 40 Awards may vary from year to year. It’s best to visit the official website of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development or contact them directly for the most up-to-date information on the awards program, including nomination deadlines and requirements.

Please note that my knowledge cutoff is in September 2021, so there may have been updates or changes to the NCAIED 40 Under 40 Awards since then.
