The Cobell Scholarship, administered by Indigenous Education, Inc.

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.
