Go to the Bureau of Indian Education's website, and download the higher education grant program information packet. The eight-page guide will give you important supplemental information.
Contact your tribe's education officer. It is through this representative that you can obtain an application. If your tribe is not administering the grant program, however, you should get in touch with the nearest BIE Education Line Officer.
Inform the financial officers at your prospective colleges that you are Native American, and that you will be submitting a grant application along with your financial aid information. According to the Bureau of Indian Education, "many colleges have knowledge of the BIE's grant program and can refer you to a knowledgeable counselor."
