Higher Education Assistance Program

Lios em chaniavu, mahtawame!

Hello, Students!

Congratulations on your decision to continue your education. The Higher Education Assistance Program is more than a financial assistance program. Our advisors are here to assist you in your academic success. Each student is unique, and all students require assistance. HEAP is here to procure additional financial aid resources, network with Yaqui students, and identify other resources to aid you. The application will open on November 1, 2023, if you seek financial aid. Deadlines are as follows:

The spring application window is November 1, 2023 through January 6, 2024

The fall application window is June 1, 2024, through August 31, 2024
