AISES collects and, when necessary, releases appropriate information about the awarded scholars for scholarship evaluation and research. The applicant must maintain current information to remain eligible and contact AISES if there are any changes in their academic profile, including a change of institution, enrollment status, or academic record. By submitting personal information, the student will be matched to scholarship opportunities for which they are qualified for; and the student must additionally apply to a specific opportunity to be considered. Indigenous Education, Inc., and AISES do not share information with other groups for solicitations.
According to federal FERPA laws and regulations, AISES under no circumstances will representatives of Indigenous Education, Inc., nor AISES discuss student applications or scholarship files and their contents with anyone other than the student. Upon inquiry, Indigenous Education, Inc. and AISES may verify the student's identity through a series of questions. Education professionals may have access to portions of applications as qualified and screened reviewers who also adhere to FERPA laws and regulations.
The individuals who cannot access student information include parents, grandparents, spouses, extended family members, state, local, and tribal government representatives, and tribal scholarship department representatives. Institution representatives may contact Indigenous Education, Inc., AISES, and vice versa to assess financial and academic eligibility.
Upon selection as a finalist for an AISES scholarship award, the student must accept the award in the OASIS System AND provide the post-acceptance documents required for the award within the specified timeframe of notification from the Student Success Team. The AISES Student Success Team will do their due diligence to send notification reminders through emails, texts, and phone calls to the student within this time frame to complete their post-acceptance requirements. However, after this time allowance has passed, the scholarship may be revoked.
