Merit Awards are offered to Native American High School Seniors each Spring to students planning on attending an accredited two or four-year College, Tribal College, or University, including Career Technical Institutes. WWNAEC is an organization dedicated to furthering the educational goals of Native Youth in Western Washington, therefore, recipients must be tribally affiliated or direct descendants. A minimum 2.00 GPA is required, and the student must be sponsored by a current member of WWNAEC.
WWNAEC offers several awards at $574.00 – 574 being the number of Federally Recognized Tribes. The number of awards is contingent on that year’s fundraising efforts.
