Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver
The Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver program, authorized by the State of Michigan, waives the tuition costs for eligible Native Americans in the state’s public community colleges and universities, including the University of Michigan-Flint. Students granted the waiver by the state will still be required to cover other costs, such as housing and meals, textbooks, and incidentals.
University of Michigan-Flint Statement Honoring the Homeland and Historical Experiences of Native Americans
The University community acknowledges that the land where the campus is located in Flint, Michigan is the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary homeland of many Indigenous nations, most recently the Anishinabek (including Potawatomi, Chippewa/Ojibwe, and Odawa) tribal nations.
We acknowledge the painful history of genocide, forced relocation, and removal of many from this territory, and we honor and respect the many Indigenous people, including those of the Three Fires Alliance, who are still connected to this land.
