Are you, your child, or his/her grandparent an enrolled member of an Alaska
Native Group or American Indian Tribe?
If so, your child may be able to enroll in Title VII Indian Education Program.
Enrollment will increase opportunities available for your Native student. The
program's goal is to help Native students meet and exceed state academic and
cultural standards.
Upon enrollment, your child will be eligible to participate in various (K-12)
programs, including:
- Academic tutoring
- Cultural enrichment activities
- Summer enrichment programs
- Student internships during the summer
- Scholarships, career and post-secondary training and exploration
- Native Advisory Committee (parents, teachers and high school students)
Enrollment in the program does not obligate a student to participate.
Perhaps your family does not have documentation or declines eligibility in Title
VII Indian Education services. If so, please write the student's name, date of birth
and status on the form and return it to your school. This status will be noted in the
ASD database. In the future, if you acquire documentation or change your mind,
please contact the Title VII Indian Education office at the number below.
