How can I prove I'm American of Indian origin to obtain grants for school?

Any info> I enjoyed Indian in my family. My grandfather was 1 / 4 Cherokee and my grandmother was 1 / 4 Choktaw. I know that if you are certain pecent of Indian Affairs, you get certain benefits. I want to get all the help I can get my degree. I wonder if there's a way to prove to get the card.

Higher Education and other sources of funding for American Indians is based on citizenship, and not ancestry or heritage. To be a citizen of a tribal nation you must get a citizen. Were family members of a tribal citizen (ie, "named")? If so, please contact their tribal enrollment to learn more about if and how you can become registered. Prove your ancestry is yours: You will need birth certificates and death you connecting to a known tribal citizen. These documents must be submitted to the tribe. However, even if your ancestor was registered, you can not qualify for registration, but the decision belongs to the tribe. If any of your ancestors were tribal people you will not be eligible for registration as your ancestors renounced any and all tribal rights for themselves and all their descendants at the time of enrollment discontinued. If this is the case in your family you will not be eligible for any benefits you are looking for.
