Information and Eligibility:
The Cobell Scholarship, administered by Indigenous Education, Inc. (IEI), is a highly respected and competitive scholarship program created to support Native American students pursuing higher education at accredited institutions. Established as part of the Cobell Settlement, which addressed mismanagement of Indian trust funds, this scholarship fund honors the legacy of Elouise Cobell (Blackfeet Nation), a prominent advocate for Native financial rights and educational opportunity. The program provides both need-based and merit-based awards for undergraduate, graduate, and vocational students and aims to empower Native scholars through financial support, leadership development, and academic success resources.
The scholarship assists students in a wide variety of programs, including associate, bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, professional degrees, and career or technical education. In addition to financial assistance, Cobell Scholars gain access to enrichment opportunities, mentoring, community engagement initiatives, and leadership programming designed to strengthen Native voices in higher education. The scholarship places strong emphasis on community service, cultural commitment, and demonstrated dedication to uplifting Native communities.
