Gerianne Pfeiffer Native American Scholarship
Native American students are often overlooked and marginalized when it comes to pursuing higher education.
Limited outreach from counselors and colleges, financial struggles, and fears of social isolation all contribute to the low rate of college enrollment among Native students, a disparity when compared to the overall enrollment rate. This trend is a continuing cycle, as a lack of mentors or role models makes it more difficult for the next generation to access the world of academia.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Gerianne Pfeiffer by supporting students with Native American heritage as they pursue their educational goals.
Any Native American undergraduate or graduate student may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us how your Native American background has affected your education so far and how it has impacted your goals for the future.
