Are you interested in learning a new skill but don’t necessarily want to go to college? If so, attending a vocational school may be the solution for you! The Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission recently created Vocational Scholarships, which are supported by the sale of the Native American license plate fund.
Many vocational programs take less time than earning a college degree and make it easier for you to continue working, learn a new trade skill and get into your new profession sooner. Below are some examples of training you can receive, but this list is not all-inclusive:
- Airplane Mechanic
- Home Health Care
- Truck Driving School
- Chef’s Academy
- Construction
- Veterinary Assistant
- Computer Technology
If you would like an application or more information, contact Mark Bush at the American Indian Center at mbush@AmericanIndianCenter.org. The deadline is July 15, 2017. Scholarship amounts range from $1,000 to $2,500 per student.
