Fort Peck Tribes Adult Vocational Training Program
Financial assistance to help students gain and/or maintain full-time, permanent employment through vocational training. Programmes covered include one- and two-year certificates and Associate of Arts or Science degrees. The tribe describes the assistance as supplemental and advises students to seek other scholarships or grants and campus-based aid.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only Income Based
Applicants must be an enrolled member of the Fort Peck Tribes, possess a high school diploma or GED/HiSET, be accepted into a regionally accredited post-secondary institution, and be PELL eligible. Veterans with an Honorable Discharge are given preference on submission of DD214 Member 4. Funding is suspended if grades are not received by the grade deadlines — Fall 10 January, Spring 10 June, Summer 10 September, or within 15 days of the end of each quarter for students on a quarterly basis.
Where it's offered
Nationwide
No residency requirement is published — the assistance follows the enrolled student to any regionally accredited institution.
How to apply
Submit the Adult Vocational Training Application/Need Assessment Form together with the most recent transcript, a Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB), a copy of the high school diploma or GED, the acceptance letter from the institution, and DD214 Member 4 if claiming veterans preference. All documents must be submitted at the same time. Two official sources give different Spring application deadlines — the Education Department application packet says 1 December, while the tribe's departments page says 2 December; Fall is 15 July and Summer is 1 May on both. Confirm the date with the office. Note also that the "Download the Application" link on the AVT page currently serves the Higher Education application form, so ask the department for the correct AVT packet. Phone 406-768-2394 or 406-768-2318, fax 406-768-3556.
