American Indian Graduate Center Fellowship Program

The fellowship awards were established to assist American Indian
college graduates who wanted to continue their education at the
master's, doctorate and professional degree level and needed 
financial support.

Eligibility: Applicants must be enrolled members of a federally-
	recognized American Indian tribe or Alaskan Native group 
	in the United States, or possess 1/4 degree (federally
	recognized) Indian blood. Also, applicants must be (or
	will be) pursuing a masters or doctorate degree as a 
	full-time graduate student at an accredited graduate
	school in the United States. Lastly, all applicants must
	apply for campus-based aid through the federal financial
	aid process at the university financial aid office.

Awards: Fellowship awards are based on a percentage of your unmet
	financial need. New students receive a maximum of $4,000 
	and continuing students a maximum of $6,000. (The maximum
	award amounts were based on a student having an unmet
	need of $10,000 or more).

Application Fee: There shall be a one time, non-refundable, 
	application fee of $15.00 that must be submitted. The 
	application fees will be used to provide additional 
	fellowships. Money orders only.

Deadlines: Closing Dates for filing Application: Application for a
	fellowship must be received by AIGC on or before: 
	June 2, 2000 at 5:00 P.M. for the 2000-2001 academic year
