Boarding School Healing Scholarship

Native American Family in traditional colorful clothing

As part of our mission to address the ongoing trauma caused by the U.S. Indian Boarding School policy and the effects on Indian education, we are excited to announce our Indian Boarding School Healing Scholarship.

NABS believes that education is key to the advancement of Tribal Nations, caring for our communities, and closing the gap of racial disparities in health and wealth attainment for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN).

Scholarship Program

In support of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) students, NABS has created the Indian Boarding School Healing Scholarship for Descendants of Indian Boarding School Survivors. Following are details and how to apply:

American Indian College Fund

  • Who: Tribally enrolled descendants of U.S. boarding school survivors who submit an essay with their relative’s story; graduate and undergraduate students enrolled at accredited institutions.
  • Terms: One-time funding paid directly to the institution through a partnership with the American Indian College Fund to be used for tuition, books, fees, etc.
  • Annual Timeline:
    • March/April—Announcement
    • May 31—Deadline
    • August—Award

How to Apply

Complete the American Indian College Fund’s Full Circle Scholarship application, and select the box that indicates that you are a descendant of a boarding school survivor. You will be prompted to submit your essay after checking the box. Good luck!
