This application is used to apply for the American Indian Tuition Waiver (AITW). This may revise financial aid eligibility. The policy and procedures are online at z.umn.edu/ummaitw.
The University of Minnesota Morris will waive tuition charges for American Indian students who have met admissions requirements, as mandated in federal law and state statute.
Students with American Indian heritage are admitted to the University of Minnesota Morris on the same basis as other students. For the purposes of this tuition waiver, American Indian is defined as:
- an enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, Alaskan Native Village, or Canadian First Nation;
- a direct descendant of a parent or grandparent who is an enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, Alaskan Native Village, or Canadian First Nation; or
- a direct descendant of a tribally verified member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, Alaskan Native Village, or Canadian First Nation, other than parent or grandparent.
American Indian students do not need to establish residence on trust lands, nor do they need to be Minnesota residents.
