<p>i was wondering if it would be worth while for me to prove my native american ancestry, my mom was born and raised on a reservation and my grandmother and aunts still reside on a reservation. i personally was not born on a reservation, so im curious as to where this leaves me?</p>
<p>am i able to get any scholarships, or any kind of money if i prove my ancestry? </p>
<p>am i more likely to be accepted as a minority, if so, where?</p>
<p>Yes, it would definitely be worthwhile. I may be making this up completely, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of scholarships with a minimum of 1/8 Native American. You definitely have sufficient Native American ancestry.</p>
<p>i can prove that i am 1/4, but in reality i am 1/2 but due to complications on a birth certificate, i dont think the 1/2 can be proved</p>
<p>Are you a registered tribal member?</p>
<p>Most, possibly all, scholarships will require a tribal enrollment number as part of your application.</p>
<p>Tribal membership requirements will vary by tribal affiliation. Please check with your tribal office for specific proof required for enrollment.</p>
<p>If your mother was born on a reservation, I’m pretty sure you qualify for a lot. It’s definitely worth looking into more.</p>
