AISES Intel Growing The Legacy Scholarship Program (2022-2023)

Get on the Fast Track to a Rewarding Career in STEM

AISES is proud to partner with Intel Corporation to offer the Intel Growing the Legacy Scholarship Program. The Program offers Intel-sponsored scholarships of $5,000 to $10,000 for students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate STEM degree. While this Program is not automatically renewing, awardees are encouraged to re-apply each year.

More Than Financial Support

The Intel Scholars program goes beyond direct financial support by also providing:

Access to Intel mentors
Exposure to Intel job opportunities
Career-focused training and workshops
Mental health and wellness support

AISES has received a $1.32 million contribution from Intel to support undergraduate and graduate scholarships for Native Americans. The support is part of a partnership between Intel and AISES to increase the number and success of Native American students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

All scholarships require that applicants be current AISES members at the time of application. All applicants will be required to enter a valid AISES membership number. To get a membership number join AISES or retrieve your membership number through AISES Membership Portal.

Application

All AISES scholarship applications have three stages.

Stage 1: APPLICANT PROFILE

All students must complete a Profile in the OASIS scholarship platform. For the 22-23 year, AISES has switched to a new scholarship platform, so all applicants must create a new account and complete a new profile. The same email address used on the old OASIS platform may be used to create your new account on the new OASIS portal. Access OASIS here to set up your account. OASIS is separate from the AISES membership portal and requires a unique username and password. Keep your OASIS login information as you may need to log-on multiple times to upload documents and check to see if your letters of recommendation have been submitted by your recommenders.

Stage 2: SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

Students must fully complete the OASIS Eligibility Form to view the scholarship(s) for which they are eligible. To apply for an eligible scholarship, students must answer the required questions and submit all requested documents. Once completed, the AISES scholarships that you qualify for will be listed for you to apply to. Each scholarship must be applied for separately and each scholarship will have unique requirements.

Required Documents for all STAGE 2 Applications

Resume: Submit your current resume through the OASIS platform. E-mailed resumes will not be accepted. If you need help creating a resume, your school will likely have a Career-Services office that can help. You can also find many good resources at https://careers.aises.org/jobseeker/resources.
Transcript(s): Submit your most recent Academic Transcripts. The transcripts can be unofficial or official at this time
Tribal Citizenship/Indigenous Native Verification: Enrollment documents and/or a copy of birth certificate(s) showing descendancy from an enrolled citizen, Indigenous group of Canada, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander are acceptable. Applicant may also, instead, provide a copy of their Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood or Certificate of Degree of Alaska Native Blood (CDIB) card.
Letters of Recommendation: : Be sure to give your recommenders plenty of time to complete their recommendation (at least three weeks). It is often helpful to talk with them before you submit the form, to ensure they can complete a positive recommendation for you in a timely fashion. All recommendation letters must be submitted through the OASIS platform.
Essays: Students are required to submit 5 essays, up to 300 words each. These essays are an important part of the scholarship review process.
- For all students:

Selection & Notification

Selection Process

Once the scholarship application deadline ends, the AISES Scholarship Team members will verify that all applicants are members of AISES and meet the other eligibility criteria. Applications that are not complete or do not meet the eligibility criteria are declined automatically.

The scholarship applications will then be reviewed by AISES reviewers who score each application based upon factors such as applicant potential to contribute to their communities, academic performance (GPA and academic record), the student’s personal essay (i.e. writing skills, character, commitment, goals), strength of recommendation letters, and other extracurricular affairs the student has undertaken including jobs, volunteer efforts, internships, culturally related activities, etc. The scored applications are then placed in a ranked list, and this list is used by the AISES Scholarship team and Intel to select the scholarship finalists.

Once selected, the scholarship finalists will be notified through email of the post-acceptance documents. All scholarship finalists will be required to submit the following post-acceptance documents:
