The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Um, on campus, like within skc and then also off the campus, we have a scholarship like coordinator who has actually in one of the buildings on campus, and her name is Amanda. I think she actually has another person working with her to that just started here recently. So you can apply for lots of different scholarships like anyone you want outside of school. Of course, um, and Amanda does a really good job of like, sending links out like, Here's this one. Um, but then the ones on SK see a lot of them are predominantly, um, you have to be tribal or enrolled The descendant different things like that, which creates a great opportunity for the majority of students there. For the students that aren't enrolled, aren't descendants etcetera? There is, um, what's called SKC foundation scholarships, and that's every fallen winter. Um, I think the maximum you can receive is like $3000 and it's split up over the quarters. It just goes straight into your account there at the college, and if you don't have your fees paid for, it pays for them. Then if there's anything left over, it actually goes to a personal check for you. I think that's amazing for especially Ah, lot of the people that are on campus here, like it seems like a lot of us are always short on money. A lot of us are just trying to make ends me trying to get through school and get our degrees so that we can go out and make a better wage than working two or three minimum wage jobs. You do have to have all your fees paid for everything paid up at the college before you get a personal check written to you. Um, that's kind of how the process their works. The scholarship opportunities are really great at SKC. There's ah lot of scholarships for tribal enrolled members and things like that descendants I know with the nursing program, there's actually a $20,000 scholarship. It's called the Jensen Nursing Scholarship, and it's four females who are tribal and who are going through the nursing program, and it's dispersed over their time in the nursing program. Basically, your schooling paid for It's just awesome. I know a couple of my friends from the nursing program a couple other students I knew that graduated with me. They actually were, um, like, kind of sponsored through the I. H. S. And they had their schooling paid for. They got, like, extra money each month to help pay for their expenses, and they would just have to work for the I. H s afterwards. So they have kind of like thes grant slash scholarships, slash internship opportunities where you can kind of like work with people, work with agencies and then have your schooling paper and afterwards have an opportunity to work for them. I think that's Casey does a good job of helping set that up, and whatever department urine I know, there's different opportunities for grants and funding and scholarships within each one.
