Catching the Dream, formerly known as the Native American Scholarship Fund, offers three scholarship programs to those of Native American descent. The MESBEC program supports those who study math, engineering, science(including medicine), business, education, and computers. The Native American Leadership Education program is awarded to those seeking a career in education. The Tribal Business Management program attempts to sponsor tribal economic development by awarding scholarships to students studying business, finance, management, economics, banking, hotel management, and related fields. For all three programs, students must display clear goals which benefit the Native American community. Awards range from $500 to $5,000 per academic year, and 55% of applicants receive scholarships.

Students must have work experience, a record of leadership, commitment to their Native American community, and are expected to apply for all other sources of funding.
