Are you a Native American undergraduate student thinking about graduate school and involved with our work at the Center for Native American Youth? If so, you may be interested in the graduate school scholarship program available from Carnegie Mellon University Heinz College in Pennsylvania.
The scholarship program is designed to provide financial support to students who are involved in our work and have successfully completed their bachelor’s degree. Center involvement can include participation in a youth roundtable; submitting an application for Champions for Change; signing up to receive our monthly E-Newsletter; or even joining our Native Youth Listserv.
Starting in 2013, Heinz College will award the scholarship to students who are entering one of the College’s full-time graduate degree programs. The award will be made at the time of admission (no separate application is necessary). To be considered for the scholarship, Heinz College applicants should indicate their involvement with the Center. The students who are admitted will receive at least $6,000 per semester, and most students will receive more.
The partnership has been established as part of Heinz College’s commitment to promoting innovative decision-making and diverse perspectives in leadership across the public, non-profit and private sectors. In addition to the Heinz College — CNAY Scholarship, Heinz offers a series of other scholarships in an effort to promote these directives, including the Tribal Affairs Fellowship and the Choctaw Nation Scholarship program. Multiple full-tuition scholarships with $6,000 per year research assistantships are awarded to students committed to promoting the advancement of the American Indian population and tribal affairs via the Tribal Affairs Fellowship.
