School Expense Benefit (K-12)
Up to $750 each fiscal year for each enrolled Eastern Shawnee child in kindergarten through 12th grade, including homeschooled children, for school clothing, traditional school supplies, driver’s education and a letter jacket. Parents can also spend part of the benefit on school clothes through the Tribe’s Amazon school clothing program instead of paying up front. Amounts are from the website and the FY2023 Benefits Manual, the newest manual posted; call to confirm current amounts.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only
The Benefits Manual says: "Only enrolled members of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma are eligible to apply and receive services from this program" and "Services are for every member regardless of income, age or residence, unless stated otherwise." Future members qualify for services dated on or after their enrollment date. A person enrolled in more than one tribe "may share in the benefits of only one of them." For this benefit the "Child must be an enrolled Eastern Shawnee member" attending school regularly (K-12) or homeschooled; proof of school enrollment is required every school year, and 12th-grade funds must be spent by June 30. Payment goes to the parent or court-awarded guardian.
