College & Career Services

Overview



College & Career Services (CCS) offers financial aid assistance to enrolled members of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe attending College / University in the United States. In addition to the Tribe’s funding, the Service provides guidance with applying to college, FAFSA, HESC (TAP), and other scholarships.


CCS offers two Scholarships: Tribal Learning Assistance Program (TLAP) Scholarship & Educational Trust Scholarship. The TLAP Scholarship funds students pursuing their undergraduate degree (associates or bachelor’s degree) or graduate degree (masters or doctorate).
