The American Indian Scholars Program was established in the 2023 Legislative Session. This program provides a first-dollar tuition and fee-free pathway for Minnesotans eligible for resident tuition who are enrolled members or citizens of any federally recognized tribe or Canadian First Nation to attend a Minnesota State institution or the University of Minnesota. Students not eligible for resident tuition who are enrolled members or citizens of a Minnesota Tribal Nation are also eligible for the program.
To be eligible for this program, students must:
- Be enrolled in an undergraduate certificate, diploma, or degree program;
- Not have already obtained a bachelor’s degree;
- Have fewer than 180 credits attended at the college-level; and
- Be either a:
- Minnesota resident who qualifies for resident tuition and an enrolled member or citizen of a federally recognized American Indian Tribe or Canadian First Nation; or
- A student who does not qualify for resident tuition but is an enrolled member or citizen of a Minnesota Tribal Nation.
The application is easy. Complete application and provide your tribal enrollment document.
The deadline to apply for this program will be two weeks before the end of the term. If the AISP is paid after the end of the semester, only those courses which the student successfully completed will be considered for payment.
