Native American Tuition Advantage Program

Overview

The Native American Tuition Advantage Program (NATAP) has been established to provide in-state tuition status to a limited number of out-of-state tribally affiliated students and descendants from state or federally recognized tribes, as well as Canadian Status Indian students. This program is offered by Michigan State University, which acknowledges its location on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg and advocates for the sovereignty of Michigan’s federally-recognized Indian nations. By offering this tuition adjustment, the university works to hold itself more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
