成人视频has created a scholarship program to honor Native American, Indigenous and American Indian communities. Each year the College will award two full tuition scholarships. The scholarship is open to all incoming students who identify as American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, First Nations, Inuit and/or M茅tis. Preference will be given to students who identify as members of local tribes throughout the New England region. We will also consider non-Native students who have demonstrated a commitment to Native American and Indigenous communities and their sovereignty through activism and research.
Preference will be given to students who demonstrate financial need through their financial aid application. The scholarship is awarded at the time of admission to the College.
We accept multiple forms of tribal documentation, including:
For descendant-based eligibility, you can provide documentation establishing your relationship with a parent/legal guardian from a native community. For example: a birth certificate, documentation of legal guardianship, etc.
We are happy to connect with students and families on an individual basis to discuss an applicant鈥檚 tribal status and additional methods for documenting a student鈥檚 heritages. Please contact the dean of admission via e-mail at deanadmission@mtholyoke.edu or by phone at 413-538-2023 to begin the process.
The scholarship covers full tuition at 成人视频College for each semester of attendance. If the student recipient demonstrates financial need based on a review of their financial aid application, then additional need-based funding may be awarded by 成人视频in order to assist with other costs of attendance such as room, board and fees.
Outside scholarships or employee benefits earmarked for tuition may not exceed tuition charges when combined with 成人视频tuition-based scholarships and grants, including this scholarship.
If the outside funding can be applied toward room and board or other direct costs, the 成人视频tuition-based scholarship or grant will not be reduced. However, the total aid from 成人视频College and outside sources may not exceed the total cost of attendance. If the outside aid and 成人视频aid combined exceeds the cost of attendance, then 成人视频funding will be reduced.
If you receive a 成人视频need-based grant in addition to this scholarship, the outside funding will first be applied to reducing the student loan(s) and/or student employment. Any funds that exceed the total of loans and student employment will reduce the 成人视频need-based grant.

The scholarship will be renewed automatically, provided the student recipient maintains satisfactory academic progress, which is reviewed by the Academic Advisory Board each semester.
