Higher Education Scholarship (Tribal Members)

The Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma Higher Education College Scholarship Program "serves the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma Tribal Members exclusively," providing financial assistance to members attending a nationally or state-accredited college or university. Full-time students receive assistance for tuition, fees and books plus a monthly stipend for school and living expenses; payment goes directly to the college financial services office. Graduate assistance depends on funding. The department's most recently posted scholarship list (2020–2021) shows $1,200 per semester for full-time enrollment. Students must enroll in classes that apply to their declared degree, maintain a minimum GPA and enrollment status, and submit grades and schedule after every term.
