Does anyone know of any Native American Scholarships based on blood quantum?

Question

I know this sounds easy... I am 1/4 Native American, which fulfills the blood quantum for pretty much any scholarship. However, I am two separate tribes, 1/16 of one and 3/16 of the other, and enrollement requires 1/8 and 1/4 blood, respectively.

I can find a lot of college scholarships, but they all require "1/4 Native American" and "Enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe"

If anyone knows of any scholarships where you have to have at least 1/4 blood, but not an enrolled member, please let me know!

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you are not an enrolled member, you are pretty much hosed.

Answer 2

Have you considered Haskell Indian Nations  University in Kansas.  They provide college (room, board, food, books, everything almost entirely free).  Theirs is 1/4 min...

    1. Students applying to attend Haskell must either be an enrolled or official member of a Federally recognized tribe eligible for education benefits from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) or at least one-forth total degree Indian blood descendant of an enrolled member of a tribe eligible for BIA education benefits. Official documentation regarding tribal recognition signed by the appropriate BIA agency or tribe must accompany application.
