$9000 scholarship for Native American or Alaska Native Students – application due Aug 1st

A new scholarship opportunity is available to UW students this year. Unfortunately, it’s only a one-time scholarship, but it’s a great opportunity that I hope you’ll share with Native American or Alaska Native students you may know.

The Seattle Indian Health Board and Seattle Foundation Scholarship for Native American or Alaska Native Students will provide financial assistance to undergraduate or graduate students at UW. This is a one-time gift of $9,000 to UW to fund a single scholarship during the 2016-17 academic year only. Selection of the scholarship recipient will be based on active community involvement, interest in social services or healthcare services to communities, and financial need.

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be:

• Enrolled Native American or Alaskan Native tribal members.
• Enrolled full time at UW in 2016-17 as an undergraduate, graduate or professional student, in any field of study, including pre-majors.
• Interested in social services and/or health services fields.
• Actively engaged members of their tribal, campus or other communities.
• Receiving financial aid, as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Complete details and the online application are available at http://expd.washington.edu/scholarships/search/search-results-public.html?page_stub=SIHB. The deadline for applications is August 1, 2016.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Please share widely!
