The Friends of Hubbell Scholarship offers support Native students pursuing higher education. Junior and senior undergraduate students are eligible for $2,500, while graduate students may receive $3,000. Applicants must be members of the Navajo, Hopi, Acoma, Laguna, Zuni, or Southern Ute Nations and currently enrolled in a four-year college, university, or graduate program. Eligible students must have a declared major or be enrolled in a special degree or graduate program, maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA, and be entering their junior, senior, or graduate studies.

AISES Scholarship is intended for Native American students participating in a study abroad program that supports the completion of their STEM degree. Eligible students may be able to utilize this scholarship towards their study abroad program costs. 

The US Dept. of State’s Benjamin Gilman International Scholarship is a grant program that has been successful in supporting students who have been historically underrepresented in education abroad, including but not limited to first-generation college students, veteran students, ethnic or racial minority students, students with disabilities, and students attending minority-serving institutions. Scholarship amounts range from $100-$5,000 depending on need and expense of Study Abroad program chosen.

There are 2 Gilman application cycles; one closes in October and one closes in March. See which cycle you should apply for here: https://www.gilmanscholarship.org/applicants/deadlines-and-timeline/

All eligible students who successfully complete an application to the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship will also receive a $750 Gilman Application for Travel Opportunity (GATO) Award from Arizona International Study Abroad towards a future international experience on an eligible study abroad program (eligible programs include Faculty-led, Exchange or Arizona Abroad Locations)! 

The Fund for Education Abroad (FEA) invests in deserving U.S. undergraduates who are least likely to study abroad. FEA considers financial need, demographic factors, and academic plan and preparedness to decide scholarship recipients.
