HIGHER EDUCATION / JOB TRAINING AND PLACEMENT Through the Higher Education, scholarship funds provide eligible Mohawk students to pursue post-secondary education either college or vocational schooling. Funding for the program, in operation since 1986, is provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. Under this program, not only are scholarship monies awarded, but students are assisted in applying for various other types of financial aid. Students are also assisted with the sometimes complicated college/training program application procedures. Program staff further serve as the liaison between the students and their college or Job Training and Placement program.
