Financial Aid Assistance for Education

The Cayuga Nation supports educational opportunities for its citizens through financial aid assistance available exclusively to eligible Cayuga Nation citizens or children of enrolled fathers. The program provides up to five awards per semester, each valued at a maximum of $2,000.

Tribal enrollment and financial need are key criteria for selection. These awards are open to Cayuga Nation citizens nationwide, and students are encouraged to seek additional nation resources for funding support
