Arizona Tribal Contacts & Enrollment for Students

Your tribe will be an important resource for you as you look for ways to fund your education. Some tribes offer financial help for students that are enrolled in their tribe, and scholarships for Native American students often require proof of Tribal Membership or proof of Native Heritage in order to be considered. Start communication with your tribe as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss any scholarship or financial aid deadlines.

Enrollment

Enrolling with your Tribe is often required for access to programs and benefits offered to Tribal Members. Each Tribe has its own processes for enrollment and to determine eligibility for membership. The U.S. Department of Interior has general information on the Tribal Enrollment process, but to obtain information about your eligibility for membership, you must contact your Tribe.
