College Tuition Waivers for Native American Students
Twenty-four states have enacted laws providing for scholarships, tuition waivers, or grant programs for Native Americans.  Most of the states require that students be residents of the state prior to enrolling in a state college/university and/or be a member of a tribe from that state (i.e. Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin).  Students should check with the colleges they are interested to see if Native American scholarships or tuition waivers are offered.
