This directory is for Native Americans (including those who are American Indian, Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian, Native Samoan, or other Native Pacific Islander) who are looking for financial aid. Describes 1,400 scholarships, fellowships, loans, grants, awards, and internships - representing billions of dollars - open specifically to Native Americans. This money can be used to support a whole range of activities, including:

• study
  
• training
  
• research
  
• creative activities
  
• future projects
  
• professional development
  
• work experience

The listings cover every major subject area, are sponsored by hundreds of private and public agencies and organizations, and are open to Native Americans at any level, from high school and college through professional and postdoctoral.

The directory has been designed so readers can quickly identify available funding by specific subject, sponsor, title, residency requirements, where the money can be spent, type of funding, and deadline date.

Plus, it includes information on purpose, eligibility, financial data, duration, special features, limitations, number awarded, and deadline date. Also lists fax numbers, toll-free numbers, email addresses, and websites, along with complete contract information.
