      Are you a registered member of a tribe that offers a scholarship? My tribe offers any member going to college up to $2000/semester. I would have never gotten through school without it.

    I am a Canadian citizen, which means my reservation is also in Canada. I am currently enrolled in a University, but I’m wondering if I can still receive a scholarship even though I was not born here or a member of any bands down here? I could really use any help you can offer in helping find the right scholarship for me. Thank you.
