Choctaw
Tribal Scholarship Program
The
Scholarship Program pledges to provide high-quality, pre-college
counseling by: helping students explore majors and assisting with
admission, housing and financial aid applications and the registration
process at nearby colleges; making on-campus visits to monitor student
progress and to assist in resolving problems; and providing financial
assistance by using the Title IV Cost of Attendance from each college
or university to set the scholarship award amount for each individual
student.
Although most applicants seek financial assistance, this program
provides a variety of post-secondary educational services. The scholarship
is not need-based; however, students must complete the financial
aid application process at the college to document expenses, resources
and other financial aid that provide a basis for scholarship awards.
This process includes completing the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid.
Scholarship
assistance is available at the bachelor, master and doctorate level,
as well as technical degrees and a limited number of vocational
programs of study. Students wishing to enter a technical or vocational
program must file an application with the Vocational Education Program
and Employment Assistance Program prior to receiving funding through
the Tribal Scholarship Program.
