Native American Tuition Waiver

FLC awards more bachelor's degrees to Native American and Alaska Native students each year than any other four-year school as one of 13 "Native American-serving, non-Tribal" institutions nationwide.

The Native American Tuition Waiver is central to the role we play, and we advocate passionately for federal lawmakers' continued support in honoring the agreement.
