Back to EpisodesMontana's Tuition Waiver Expands, Shifts Focus
Description
Montanas American Indian tuition waiver program expands access to more students, dropping the one-quarter blood quantum rule and including unenrolled descendants. The changes, driven by federal funding concerns, shift focus to political ties rather than ancestry fractions. Tribal leaders offer mixed reactions, with some arguing for more consultation and others seeing benefits for families facing college costs. Campuses will shift funds from other budgets to accommodate more waivers, ensuring current students keep their benefits until graduation.
