There is the Native American Scholarship.
I don't know if this works differently in different states, but I have to put out a warning about working on the reservation (at least in Arizona). I have 2 instances that lead to this post.
The first concerns a Physician assistant. He went to the reservation in Arizona, promised that after 3 years, his loans would be paid off. He stayed all 3 years, but not even a dime was paid off. I thought this might just be a single case, but I later ran across another guy (a doc) who said the same thing happened to him.
Both told me the indians have their own government and laws, and that federal laws don't apply, so they get away w/ gettting docs to come w/ promise of loan repayment and never paying up.
Now, this is from the horses mouth so to speak of 2 practitioners. One is a personal friend, the other is someone I met in my line of work.
Again, this is not from personal experience. My first source is someone I fully trust, and the second gave me no reason not to believe him (especially since his story was the same as my friend).
Has anyone else heard of this type of thing?
