Aanchtaakia Graduate Fellowship
About the Aanchtaakia Graduate Fellowship
Aanchtaakia is the Myaamia word meaning ‘change maker.’ This fellowship is specifically designed for tribal scholars motivated to make positive change in tribal communities and to share their research or interests on Miami University’s campus. Applicants admitted into their graduate program of interest at Miami University can apply to the fellowship. The fellowship program offers 100% instructional and 50% fee waiver along with a stipend. The fellowship program encourages members of any federally recognized tribe, Alaskan Indian Village, or Native Hawaiian as defined by the U.S. Government’s Federal Register to apply to this program.
The Myaamia Center is a tribally-directed research and educational development center located on Miami University’s campus in Oxford, OH. As a community-driven center embedded within a 50-year relationship between the sovereign Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and Miami University, the center provides a unique opportunity for students to work with an interdisciplinary staff of researchers and educators who are directly involved in community driven revitalization work. A wide range of Indigenous topics may be explored in the center that directly support the revitalization of language and culture for the Miami Tribe community.
