assistance may also be denied. For an applicant to continue to receive
funding, the student has to maintain the following grade point averages for
their course of study:

attending a certification program for which The NIMA Corporation extends
financial assistance, student will be required to submit proof of
certification upon completion of the program to the NIMA Corporation to be
eligible for future funding requests. Failure of the student to obtain

At the completion of each semester/term, it is the students’ responsibility to arrange their grades to be sent to the NIMA Corporation by their school, as proof of satisfactory progress, at which time if the student has met continued funding criteria, additional funding will be sent to the institution on behalf of the student, without requiring an additional application for the duration of the program for which the student is enrolled in. Since these scholarships generally do not cover all educational expenses, students are encouraged and expected to investigate other loan and scholarship programs. Students should investigate the Alaska Student Loan Program, and programs offered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. |
