American Indian Community House Scholarship 2026 Application

The American Indian Community House Scholarship is now open!

This scholarship awards two recipients a one time scholarship in the amount of $2,000 to cover any financial hardship or need not covered by their institutions.

The AICH scholarship seeks to alleviate some financial stress that can come from higher education and give the two recipients a financial boost as they start their fall semester.

Recipients selected will also have professional headshots taken which they will be given to use going forward. These recipients will also be celebrated during the Fall Native & Indigenous College Student Gathering hosted by AICH.

We understand that not everyone's path through higher education will look the same, and we encourage people who are going to trade schools, art schools, certificate programs, and other institutions to apply. Individuals who are accepted into or are currently enrolled in a program anywhere between Fall 2026 - Summer 2027 are elgibile to apply.

The deadline to apply is 11:59 PM, August 31st. Applicants will be notified shortly after of their status. If you have any questions about the application process or requirements, please email us at info@aich.org.
