American Indian students no longer have to pay tuition fees at the University of Arizona Tuscon, the school said in a press release Monday.
The program will be available to any student who is federally registered in any of Arizona’s 22 tribes. More than 400 students, who are currently attending UA, are eligible for free tuition.
The University of Arizona is not the only public university that has developed similar programs. Schools in California, Oregon, Montana and Maine have all gone ahead with programs that waive tuition fees for American Indian students.
“We are committed to promoting access and success for Indigenous students.
