The American Indian Arts Council, Inc. (AIAC) is a multi-faceted community arts organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting the highest quality and form of artistic expressions in the visual and performing arts while preserving the rich heritage culture, and traditions of all American Indian People.

The AIAC has defined six major organizational goals and objectives, one of which is the establishment of a Scholarship Program for Native American students enrolled in and attending institutions of higher learning. The AIAC is committed to assisting those students who are actively pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in the study of the arts, and who have a sincere desire to advance, elevate, and preserve Native American arts.

The continuation and preservation of the arts is essential to the survival of all Native American populations. It is the responsibility of the present generation to hold fast to this belief and to use education as the means to achieve this end. This educational assistance program recognizes those American Indian students who are planning to pursue careers in the fine arts, visual and performing arts, communication arts, creative writing, and arts administration and/or management.
