Providing educational scholarships to eligible Western Shoshone individuals and their descendents!
The Western Shoshone Education Trust Fund – Administrative Committee meet in late February to finalize the scholarships for the Spring 2024 semester. This was to allow time to review applications and to complete the appeals process. Now that the final list of scholarships have been made, checks should be mailed out to educational institutions by the end of March 2024 or early April 2024.
Hello,
The Western Shoshone Educational Trust Fund was established via the Public Law 108-270 with the mission of distribution of educational assistance for the Western Shoshone People who were eligible for the Western Shoshone Claims Judgment Roll, and/or individuals who prove to be lineal descendant of an individual appearing on the said judgment roll, and who satisfies all eligibility criteria established by the committee.
Students must be enrolled on a full-time basis and must be maintaining a 2.0 term GPA. We only offer scholarships for one undergraduate/vocational degree and we do not fund graduate or higher level degrees.
This award is designed to supplement your college funding. On this website there are listings of other funding sources. Contact your school’s financial aid office to find out about “in-house” funding that you would be eligible for. Additionally, it is always a good idea to check for tuition breaks for Native American students. We wish you the best in your academic endeavors!
