Funding Your Future

After years of a set path in school, you may find yourself wondering what’s next. Whether you have a plan or are still figuring it out, the one constant is making sure you can fund whatever your future brings. This doesn’t mean you need to have thousands of dollars in the bank, but being smart about your money now will help ensure that you have it when you need it later. Here are a few ways to help fund your future.

The Master of Tribal Resource and Environmental Stewardship (MTRES) curriculum examines the economics of tribal resource management, sustainability, and tribal sovereignty. In this program designed for tribes, by tribes, you’ll explore the interrelationship of biological, physical, and cultural ecosystems through the lens of traditional tribal ecological knowledge.

The answer: scholarships. There are so many companies, organizations, tribes, and individuals who want to help educate the future students and professionals of the United States.
