At the University of Chicago Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, we want students to have access to academic and cultural resources, but to also have opportunities independent of the classroom and student life. Thus, the following is a list of opportunities where students can go to search for funding, enrich their summers or find work after graduation.

Young Native Writers Contest Provides Scholarships

Young Native Writers Contest Provides Scholarships, Student Trips (Deadline: April 15)

The Holland & Knight Charitable Foundation, Inc. is making funding available for the Young Native Writers Essay Contest, which allows Native American high school students to write about their experiences and their history.

Five first-place winners will be chosen to receive scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, and will be flown to Washington, DC to visit the Nat'l Museum of the American Indian and other prominent sites.

Eligible applicants include Native American and Alaska Native individuals who are enrolled members of a state-or federally-recognized tribe and who are also enrolled in high schools or alternative schools, or are home-schooled.
