The Cherokee Nation Pell Scholarships are offered by the Cherokee Nation, an organization based in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The purpose of these scholarships is to support Cherokee Nation tribal citizens who are pursuing a bachelor's degree at an accredited college or university in the United States. The focus of study is not specified, meaning students from various fields of study can apply.

To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be Cherokee Nation tribal citizens who qualify for Federal Pell Grant funding and reside in the United States. The selection process considers several preferences: first, continuing students are given priority, followed by new applicants based on their classification order (senior, junior, sophomore, freshman). Academic performance is also taken into account.

The scholarship is awarded on an annual basis, and interested applicants must submit a completed application form along with supporting documents. These documents include the Student Aid Report (all pages), a copy of the Social Security card, a copy of the Tribal Citizenship card (blue), an official high school transcript (for freshmen) or GED scores, a copy of ACT/SAT or College Placement Test scores (for freshmen), and an official undergraduate transcript with the most recent semester grades (if applicable).

The application deadline for the Cherokee Nation Pell Scholarships is June 29. For more information and to access the application form, you can visit the URL scholarships.cherokee.org.
