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.
The state funding is collected by the Native American Programs NYC, then is able to provide educational help to the public school districts with these students and those living within reservations in New York. The New York State Indian Aid program is one of the many programs NYC provides. It allows for many students to attend their post-secondary schools, while allowing for more students to stay within New York.
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.
The students will also have to be currently enrolled or accepted into an accredited program and school. These could be technical colleges, general college, nursing programs, trade schools, universities, or business schools. All eligible students may apply, regardless of age.
There are certain courses or programs that the New York State Indian Aid won't support. These include remedial, non-credit, or college preparatory courses. Students who are repeating or auditing certain courses won't be paid as well.
The State Education Department will have to receive aid applications by eligible students. If they'd like to apply for fall semester, they must submit by July 15. Spring and summer semesters will require applications by December 31 and May 20, respectively.
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.
The payments are sent directly to the school. The State Education Department will send payment vouchers for every semester the student is enrolled. The school must then send the voucher to the Native American Indian Education Unit, which will then approve the voucher. This will then be sent to the Department of Audit and Control for processing.
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.
