Try Maine for scholarships.

As of 10 years ago when I was there, they offered a full ride to anyone that can prove 1/8 blood. And there was no limit to the programs. It was a result of the Penobscot Land Claims agreement in the 70s.

As a matter of fact, the only person that I know that graduated as a result of the program was in Electrical Engineering.

Unfortunately, I knew a lot more kids that came in on the program and partied their way off the campus. Let me state strongly that I think that this is more a function of immature 17 and 18 year olds with nothing at stake in their education, than any racial commentary of any sort.

Actually I do not advocate any scholarships based on race as they are inherently racist [apparently that tautology alone is over the head of the typical academician]. My point is that even if you accept the overall concept of race-based grants, the details of such programs reveal the depth of the racism of those who have written the rules.

I didn't get to be where I am in life by latching on to the pity of America-hating leftists, and when I examine the circumstances of my kinsmen who have latched on to it, I can only shake my head in sorrow.
