Applicants must be a member of a federally recognized tribe, or hold a CDIB showing at least one-quarter degree of total combined Native American blood — membership in the Ponca Tribe specifically is not required. Must be a resident of Kay or Noble County, Oklahoma, with residence proven by an electric, water or gas bill, or a rent receipt or title deed. Must be 25 years of age or older, have a high school diploma or GED (or be willing to obtain a GED), provide a college transcript if previously enrolled, pass a drug test, and be willing to attend classes that improve the ability to obtain permanent employment. If no bill is in your name, contact the education/training office for further instruction.
