HelpRe: Correct me if I'm wrong...
in reply to a message by khaotickharma
I don't think it is possible to get a scholarship by just claiming to be part Cherokee when they truly are not. You have to have a card and documentation stating your native American heritage and ethnicity and how much of each native group you are to even be considered for such scholarships. They really aren't given out willy-nilly. However, I don't know if they give scholarships to someone who is full native over someone who is say, 1/16th native more often.

Thats correct. Your ancestors had to register and you have to have a tribal number. You can just get given it. Even if you can prove NOW they were tribe members, if they didn't get it done in their lifetime, you get nuffin.(sore subject, i have a high enough percentage, but my ancestors didnt trust the american government, with good reasons, so there went college :P)
