Future Mohawk Leaders Award

The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe Education Division has once again received a very generous donation from an anonymous donor. This donation, along with assistance from Tribal Council, will allow scholarships to be awarded to eight undergraduate and two graduate students. The scholarships will be in the amount of $3,000 and are nonrenewable. This scholarship is open to all college students who are enrolled with the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, regardless of where they attend college.

To apply for the Future Mohawk Leaders Award, applicants must submit an original essay outlining the following criteria:

• Career aspirations and goals

• How their career aspirations and goals will benefit the community of Akwesasne

• Expenses that the scholarship will meet

Last year’s recipients are not eligible for this year’s scholarship program, except if an undergraduate student who received the scholarship last year is now applying as a graduate student. All applicants must be currently matriculated and enrolled as a college student for the Fall 2016 semester.

Essays must be submitted via email as a Microsoft Word document to the Education Division at education@srmt-nsn.gov by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 1, 2016.

Please note, applications will not be taken in person or via the U.S. Postal Service. Applications submitted after 4:00 p.m. on December 1, 2016 will not be considered for the 2016 Future Mohawk Leaders Award.

Award notifications will be sent out the week of December 5 – 9, 2016.
