National American Indian Housing Council: Tuition Free Training

Scholarships

A limited number of scholarships are available for each class. More information on eligibility and how to apply here.

Fee Categories

Indian Tribe or Housing Authority: Individuals directly associated with a tribal housing program that receives Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds, including participating tribes within the recipient’s program, are eligible to register FREE OF CHARGE. This category includes employees of the tribal housing program, members of the Indian housing board or committee, or members of the tribe’s governing body. (Note: NAIHC membership is not required for individuals to obtain FREE registration.)

Individuals not associated with the housing program will be charged $50.00 for each day of course: This category includes those individuals who are not employees of an Indian housing program, not members of an Indian housing board or committee, or not members of a tribe’s governing body. This category also includes state and federal employees. These students may register but are required to pay $50.00 per each day of instruction (based on the number of days the class runs). For example: a five-day Pathways Home class would be $250.00. In all cases, confirmation of registration will be based on availability with priority going to those in category one above.
