meet the unique needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives. It will 
include a financial award of $5,000 and professional development in 
tribal health policy.

Applicants should be members of an American Indian or Alaska Native 
tribal nation and can be new or continuing students pursuing graduate or 
professional degrees in any health-related area, including Doctor of 
Medicine (MD), Master of Nursing (MSN), Doctor of Nursing Practice 
(DNP), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Pharmacy (MPharm), etc.
