The American Indian College Fund was established in 1989 to provide scholarships to American Indian/Alaska Native students attending tribal colleges, and to fund and create awareness about the community-based accredited tribal colleges and universities that offer students access to knowledge and skills alongside Native culture, language, and values.

Minimum requirements for all American Indian College Fund Full Circle graduate scholarships include:

• U.S. citizenship
• Enrolled in full-time in a graduate program 
• Registered as a member of a federal or state recognized tribe, or a descendant of at least one grandparent or parent who is an enrolled tribal member. (Alaska Natives may use Native Corporation membership.)
• Applicants must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0, but many Full Circle Scholarships funded by our partners are more competitive. 
• Please view the website for other eligibility requirements.
