Native tuition waiver changes could open doors to US higher education for thousands, but concerns persist
Montana's American Indian tuition waiver will expand eligibility from July 1, 2026, removing blood quantum requirements and including unenrolled descendants. This change aims to increase access to higher education, though some tribal leaders expressed concerns about the lack of prior consultation. The state anticipates increased student numbers and costs, which institutions will manage within existing budgets.
