The Education Law Section 4118, which was passed by the New York state legislature in 1953, states that American Indian students that are part of any New York state tribe are allowed education funding from the state. They can receive $2,000 every year if they go to a state accredited post-secondary educational establishment. They can even receive the grant for part-time study, in total up to four years.
Various public schools and Indian reservations in New York are given funding by the Native American Programs NYC, which allocates its funds from the state. This New York State Indian Aid programs is one of many programs NYC offers to the Native American community. It helps the state itself by keeping many students within the state, and it helps the American Indian students even more by allowing them to have a bit more help in attending post-secondary schools.
The Native American students have to fill the criteria to receive the state aid. First off, they must be residents of New York. They'll also have to be an official tribal member of a state tribe, or at least a child of an official member. These students have to also have a high school diploma from a legitimate school. If they do not, they'll have to be enrolled in a post-secondary school already with criteria similar to a high school diploma.
American Indian students will also have to be enrolled in an educational establishment that is accredited by New York State. They can be enrolled in any state accredited school such as a university, college, technical college, nursing school, specific trade school, or a business school. There aren't any age limits for his state funding either, so any student eligible can receive it.
This state-funded program won't support students when they take certain classes. These rejected classes include college prep, non-credit, or remedial courses. Auditing or repeating classes won't be paid for as well by the state.
Students who wish to receive aid have to apply with the State Education Department. They'll receive aid for the fall semester if they apply by July 15. Spring semester applications must be in by December 31, and summer by May 20.
If a specific course or degree program requires that the students stay in school for five years, they are still eligible for funding in those five years. They can even get funds for summer classes if the state provides enough funding. The aid for the summer course will be taken out of the maximum full-time sum, though.
All state payments are sent to the student's school directly. The New York Education Department will sent the payment vouchers to the school, which will then verify the information and sent them to the Native American Indian Education Unit. These vouchers will be then sent to be fully processed by the Department of Audit and Control.
Full payment processing takes up to four to six weeks usually. Schools that don't follow traditional dates and schedules usually can be accommodated by the Education Unit. If they are indeed different, they will receive the appropriate information by the Education Unit on what to do.
