You can help us build a foundation for the future! With your help we can provide more scholarships and support for preserving our traditional language and culture.
At the heart of Dakota Indian Foundation is a belief that education is essential to making life better for future generations. Each semester, approximately 100 students receive a scholarship to support their collegiate studies. Students must be enrolled in a South Dakota tribe, have attended a college or university on a full-time basis, and carry a minimum grade point average.
Spring Semester Deadline: January 15
Fall Semester Deadline: August 1
