Will I get a scholar ship?

Question

My teachers say that I can get a scholarship when i Get outta school because i am Native American. The truth is i am only half native. I am half mexican. Will it still count that if i try to get into a college?

Answer 1

apply and find out, all they can do is refuse...check with your counsellor at school and lookup myscholarships.com online for ones you can read up on and no for sure you can apply to. Good luck

Answer 2

There are so MANY scholorships and grants avaliale... something for everyone! So long as you aren't stinkin rich you probably qualify for tons of stuff, regardless of ethnicity.

be sure to fill out the FAFSA every year!  The Federal Pell Grant is GREAT since you dont have to pay it back!

Answer 3

Your ability to get a scholarship is based upon your academic merit, not your ethnicity.  Scholarships reserved for American Indians are not 'given' to just anybody, but to the best American Indian applicants.  "How much" American Indian you are matters little as long as you are an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe.  If you are enrolled, you can be eligilble to apply for American Indian scholarships but you are not guaranteed to receive one.

Answer 4

are you registered with a tribe?  If not, the answer is no.

Answer 5
