Just an FYI for those of you who might be interested. This is a great scholarship program for Native Americans and Alaska Natives who might want to obtain a degree in a medical or other public health field. It really helped me through college and pretty much guaranteed me a job upon graduation.

PEEM me if you want additional information or anything.



The Oklahoma City Area Indian Health Service, in conjunction with the University of Oklahoma’s Center for Native American Excellence and Indian Health Service Headquarters East, would like to invite you to our first annual scholarship workshop to be held on the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center Campus, Saturday, January 21, 2006 from 9 AM to 4PM, in the Basic Science Education Building, East Lecture Hall, located at 941 Stanton L. Young Boulevard. Free parking is available in the OUHSC Library parking lot, on the NW corner of NW 10th and Stonewall, in Oklahoma City.

The workshop will be telecast live to the University of Oklahoma -Tulsa Schusterman Center, room D28, as a convenience for those parties geographically located in the Northeastern quadrant of our state. The Schusterman Center is located on 41st and Yale, just west of Tulsa’s Promenade Mall. Free parking is provided at this location as well, in the east parking lot of the campus.

The workshop agenda will include an in-depth presentation, highlighting key items of the application, and simplifying the overall application process. Keynote speakers will also be on hand, enlightening the audience with their own valuable scholarship and work experiences with IHS. Applicants will also be provided with lists of alternative payment and scholarship resources, unaffiliated with IHS. Lunch will be provided free of charge at both locations.

Please plan to attend this informative workshop, and contact our office at the numbers listed below, or e-mail our division in order to accept this invitation, as an accurate count is needed for the catered lunch. We will accept responses on or before January 17, 2006.

Thanks for your continued interest in the Indian Health Service. We look forward to meeting with you soon.
