Education is a priority for the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee. It is our desire that every tribal member, young and old, receive an education that will benefit themselves, their communities, and the Tribe. As an Official State Recognized Tribe, our tribal members are entitled to education aid and scholarships. Below, we have selected financial aid opportunities that can be used by all of our enrolled members. If you need a letter of recognition, email the tribal office at info@georgiatribeeasterncherokee.com.

The College Fund also supports 35 accredited tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), most of which are chartered by tribal governments and are located on or near Indian reservations.
The College Fund consistently receives top ratings from independent charity evaluators and is one of the nation’s top 100 charities in the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.
