The Buffalo Bandits announced the return of the Native American Scholarship, which will be awarded on Native American Heritage Day presented by Seneca Resorts & Casinos on Saturday, February 4, when the Bandits face the Rochester Knighthawks.
To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be of Native American descent and residents of Western New York or Southern Ontario. To be considered, applicants must complete the application form found below, which requests a copy of their most recent transcripts, a letter of recommendation from a faculty sponsor or employer and a one-page essay describing why they should be awarded the scholarship and what it would mean to them. The scholarship is only open to students currently enrolled at or accepted to an accredited college or university.
A selection committee composed of members of the Buffalo Bandits organization will choose the scholarship winner. The winner will then be notified by Wednesday, February 1 and expected to be available to accept the scholarship on Saturday, February 4 at the Bandits’ game against the Rochester Knighthawks at 7:30 p.m.
