There are other scholarships and grants that you might qualify for also.

Native American Tribal Scholarship

Students should request an application from their respective tribe and bring their Financial Need Analysis form (FNA) to the Office of Student Financial Aid. In order to correctly complete FNA and return it to the tribe, the student's Free Aplication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and ENMU financial aid file must be complete. Upon review of the Financial Needs Analysis Form, the Tribe may offer the student funding. All tribal funds should be sent to the Office of Student Aid for disbursment.
