Welcome to the Muckleshoot Scholarship Portal.

The Muckleshoot Financial Aid Department is proud to announce the new Muckleshoot Tribal Member Portal. The Tribal Member portal is an upgrade from the previous Online Web Application that was used to apply for Muckleshoot Financial Aid.

On the first screen you can register for your Member Portal Account when you are accessing the Member Portal for the first time. Once you get approved for an account you can apply online for Muckleshoot Financial Aid programs like Scholarship.

Muckleshoot Member Portal Registration. For the first time registration click the Register button on the Portal home page.

To complete the Portal registration form, click the Register button at the bottom. This will create your portal account. Once your portal account is created it will be pending approval from Enrollment Department. Once the Enrollment Department has verified your information you will receive a confirmation email. Most students receive their account approvals in 48 hours depending on the Enrollment Department’s current workload.
