Formerly the American Indian Graduate Center, Native Forward is the largest direct scholarship provider to Native students in the United States, awarding around $15 million a year across more than 30 scholarships and fellowships for undergraduate, graduate and professional study. Applicants must be degree-seeking full-time students at an accredited US institution, demonstrate Tribal affiliation through a Tribal Eligibility Certificate completed by their Tribal Enrollment Office, and show financial need; several awards specifically target STEM and STEM-related disciplines as well as environment, energy and cultural sustainability. Applications open in January each year with deadlines varying by award.
