Midwest SOARRING Foundation is pleased to announce our 2021 Janet Standing Bear Scholarship and our 2021 Myles Goddard Scholarship for all Native American students pursuing advanced degrees and trades in undergraduate or graduate education in any field. SOARRING is extremely grateful and appreciative to the Comcast Foundation for providing $5,000 in scholarship money towards the education of our people.
While tribal enrollment is not required, we are interested in applicants who can demonstrate their positive involvement in their community with Native American cultural activities and/or advancing Indigenous concerns. The scholarship amount is $1,000. The final decision to award the scholarship is at the discretion of the Midwest SOARRING Scholarship Committee.
Interested applicants must fill out the attached Scholarship Application form, obtain a letter of recommendation from a teacher/professor, employer, or community service director; submit a 500 word essay as detailed on the application form along with a recent copy of their school transcripts. The scholarship deadline has been extended. Scholarship applications must be postmarked by February 14, 2022. The scholarships will be awarded in March of 2022.
