The National Federation of Indian American Association (NFIA) in collaboration with sponsors/donors has partnered to create NFIA-Partner/Donor Scholarship that provide financial assistance to college bound students who choose to pursue higher education. NFIA Scholarship lessens the financial burden on students and families. Scholarship is initially granted for one year and may be considered for up to four (4) years subject to availability of funds. Successful applicants could receive from $1000 up to $ 2,500 annually in financial assistance for tuition and fees while enrolled in an accredited College, University or Technical School program (not to exceed a maximum 4-year period). The scholarship awards are being planned to be presented annually in August.

There are going to be two categories of scholarships:

A few Merit only scholarships: 

(Requirements GPA >3.5; SAT>1300; ACT >30) 

A few Merit cum means scholarships: 

(Requirements GPA >3.0; SAT>1200; ACT >27). 

Applicants for merit cum means scholarship must provide accurate annual household income information. In case of US citizens, Green card holders or Non-resident Indians the annual household income needs to be less than $75,000. 

NFIA-Partner/Donor reserves the right to request tax returns for verification from applicants seeking merit cum means scholarship. Applicants (for merit-cum means scholarships) residing in India or Indian citizens still need to provide annual household income in the currency of the resident/applicant for consideration by the NFIA review committee.

The NFIA-Partner Scholarship Review Committee will assess scholar’s compliance with academic requirements each semester. Scholarship may be discontinued or placed on hold for those quarters/semester when recipients are absent from College, University or Technical School.

The judging of new applicants will be based on review of the following required submittals.

• Demonstrated exceptional academic achievements determined by ACT/SAT scores, High School GPA, and /or current College transcripts.

• For entering Freshman: ACT/SAT scores

• For currently Enrolled Students: Copies of your current college/technical school transcript and /or cumulative GPA.

• Extra-Curricular and Leadership Activities

• Personal Essays

• Recommendation Letters
