Wait, what did my original post say about scholarships? And, again, I doubt that there are any available that will give you (or anyone) a full ride.
Your original post:
(1) I know of no federal government program that provides free tuition for a graduate degree for members of Native American tribes. I imagine there are scholarships that one might qualify for, but the likelihood that a middle-age white guy going back to school on a lark will be awarded such a scholarship is questionable at best.
Now, since I am not a "white guy" but a "Native American" guy, and anti-discrimination laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, I believe I am aptly qualified. As for "full ride" I am not 100% sure how all of it will pan out, but my daughter received a similar grant last year, and along with her Hope Scholarship money (she lives in Georgia), she actually ended up getting paid to go to school.
I think you're way behind the times, Dung. Maybe you've just listened to too much of this "poor people don't have a chance" stuff for so long, you didn't realize these programs were out there?
But you linked to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Why'd you link to that if it doesn't prove that such programs exist? Weird. And color me skeptical that there are funds available for you to build a hunting cabin on a piece of property in rural Alabama under the guise of "cultural preservation" of a Native American burial site. LOL.
I gave you a link to show you that there is a Federal program to protect Native American graves. I don't have links to specific measures for funding to provide infrastructure for such sites. Oh, and let's be clear, I am not so stupid as to ask Uncle Sam to build me a hunting lodge. The structure will serve as a "museum" under the appropriate terms of the program, I will just use it for a hunting lodge when it's not being a museum. I'm not going to let the government know that, there is no need to.
Yes, I was skeptical there were such funds available too, but much to my surprise, there are! Yea Liberals, huh?
OK. So, like, where do you apply? And again, I'm admittedly slow, but how does building a hunting cabin jive with the preservation of a historical site? And I understand that there are tax incentives for preservation of historic sites, but I fail to see how that'll benefit you what with your tax-free annuity income of less than $30,000 a year.
Sorry, can't give you information on where to apply. You see, they only have so much money allocated for such projects, and if I tell you how to apply for the money, you may do so, and I might not have the funding available for myself. You'll need to do the research yourself and find the information on your own, I am not going to help. Again, the "hunting lodge" is on the QT, we're not telling them that's the plan here. It's a MUSEUM! As for who is qualified, it has nothing to do with my annuity income or wealth status. I own the property, and once it has been deemed a historic cultural site, the funding is available for improvements.
I'm sure. That's an interesting annuity that you have there.
Yep, it's pretty flexible.
Well, I doubt that you receive healthcare from a tribal health center. It strikes me as outside the realm of legitimate possibility.
Well I haven't been receiving healthcare from a tribal health center, but I will be in 2013. I thought I made that clear in the OP. I'm not sure why you think it outside the realm of possibility. There are tribal health centers in Alabama for the Choctaw tribe, and I am a Choctaw who is qualified.
