Application Directions:

Once you begin your application, the application page will automatically save your responses as long as you enter the application using the same device, are using the same browser, and have not cleared your browser history since starting the application. If you are using a public computer, you should finish your application and upload all of your documents in one sitting. Below you will find the links to both the online application and supporting documents. The essays are provided for reference as students are highly encouraged to write their essays in a writing program like Microsoft Word prior to beginning the online application. After the essays are completed, essays can be copied and pasted into the appropriate essay box. The Counselor Form needs to be printed, signed by a parent/guardian, and given to your counselor to fill out. All supporting documents should be uploaded into the Supporting Documents link. We understand that not all tribal communities have access to the internet or devices to complete online applications. If you are in need of a paper copy of the application, please contact our office immediately so that we can get the document to you.

1. Complete required essays and save them in Microsoft Word or some other writing program
2. Download the Counselor Form, have it signed by your parents, and then completed by your counselor
3. Visit the online participant application. At the end of the application, you will copy and paste your essays into the appropriate essay box. Make sure you save the PDF copy of your submission.
4. Determine who your nominator will be. Ask the person if they are willing to write a nomination letter for you, and collect their name and email after you receive their permission.
5. After collecting all of your required supporting documents and nominator's information, visit the Supporting Documents upload page to upload your files and input your nominator's information. You will need a scanner or a phone application that will clearly scan or photograph documents.
