San Carlos Apache Enrollment Department

03/05/2026

I am announcing the Chairman’s 2026 Scholarship Program.

Scholarship application is now open for students at all levels: Vocational, Associate, Bachelor, Graduate or Doctoral students. The scholarship is merit based.

Ever since I became Chairman, I have wanted to establish a scholarship program from my office as I believe and know how important Education and Training are for our people.

I thank the San Carlos Council for providing this opportunity by allocating funds to my office for my scholarship program and youth cohort program. We are in our third year.

I appreciate that our Education Department provides funding for scholarship and training opportunities for our tribal members but it’s not enough. Our departments and enterprises need to do more to supplement what our Education Department is doing.

I am doing my share by allocating $100,000 for scholarship opportunities from my office. I thank my staff for putting this program together.

I encourage our departments and enterprises to do more in this area. I thank our San Carlos Apache Healthcare Corporation and our Peridot District Economic Enterprise for starting their own scholarship programs too. We can and should do more for the future of our children.

This is a great opportunity. Please read for more information.

God bless our children.

💐 Happy National Grandmother Day 💐

Today we honor our grandmothers, the heart of our families and the keepers of our stories, language, and traditions. In Apache culture, generations are deeply connected, and our elders guide us with wisdom, strength, and love.

Grandmothers teach us who we are, where we come from, and how to carry our culture forward with respect and pride. Their hands shape families, their voices pass down knowledge, and their presence connects past, present, and future.

Today, and every day, we give thanks for our grandmothers and the generations they continue to nurture.

📢 New MVD Update for Enrolled Tribal Members

Enrolled members of Federally Recognized Tribal Nations in Arizona may now request a “Native American” designation on Arizona driver licenses and state IDs.

See details below ⬇️

Sharing info from the Arizona Department of Transportation on their new Native American designation now available for state IDs via MVD.

Enrolled members of Federally Recognized Tribal Nations in Arizona can now receive driver licenses, instruction permits and ID cards bearing a Native American designation.

The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) has added this option under a state law taking effect Jan. 1. The legislation, House Bill 2852, was sponsored by Rep. Myron Tsosie of Chinle.

Those who choose this option will have the words “Native American” printed on the front of their credential below the photo and signature.

To update a current credential, a new application and photo will be required along with additional proof of enrollment in a Federally Recognize Tribe within Arizona such as:
Enhanced Tribal Card
Tribal Identification Card
Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood
Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth
