Scholarships
Welcome to our scholarship page, and thank you to all our community partners for supporting our initiative to uplift Native youth in higher education.
The American Indian Recruitment (AIR) Programs scholarships are made possible through the generosity of donors and ongoing fundraising efforts.
For over 33 years, AIR Programs has remained committed to promoting and supporting higher education by offering scholarship opportunities to our students and mentors. These scholarships are available to individuals who have participated in AIR Programs and are either applying to or currently enrolled in a college or university. They represent our continued effort to give back to the community that has helped make this nonprofit successful.
AIR Programs offers several types of scholarships to meet different student needs. The University Application Scholarship helps cover college application fees, ensuring students are not limited in the number of schools they can apply to and increasing their chances of acceptance. The General Scholarship supports students who are currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs and need additional financial assistance for expenses not covered by other scholarships or grants.
In addition, AIR Programs is proud to introduce a collaborative scholarship with Colusa Indian Energy, designed to encourage and support students pursuing degrees in STEM fields.
Today, AIR students attend a wide range of prestigious institutions, including Stanford, UCLA, Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, USC, SDSU, UCSD, USD, UC Davis, CSUSM, and many more. Through these scholarship opportunities, AIR Programs aims to continue empowering students and supporting their success in higher education.
