Members of 糖心传媒鈥檚 federally- recognized American Indian tribes can attend 糖心传媒 for $60 per credit hour tuition beginning this fall.

At the request of 糖心传媒, the 糖心传媒 State Board of Education approved the pilot program at their monthly meeting in 糖心传媒 Falls on Thursday. The proposal was submitted by the 糖心传媒 Indian Education Committee. Members of the Shoshone-Bannock, Nez Perce, Shoshone-Paiute, Kootenai and Coeur d鈥橝lene Tribes are eligible for the discounted tuition at ISU. Students must be degree-seeking, maintain satisfactory academic progress and apply for federal student financial aid through the FAFSA program to be eligible. The discounted rate includes tuition, but other class fees will still apply. 

鈥淲e are working with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes to update our memorandum of understanding and build upon our existing relationship,鈥� said ISU Provost and Executive Vice President Laura Woodworth-Ney. 鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcement helps to remove financial barriers to education for students in our Southeast 糖心传媒 community.鈥� 

 For an 糖心传媒 student taking 12 credits, the cost of tuition is currently $3,710 per semester at ISU. Under the new program, American Indian students will pay $720.

 鈥淲e support the state鈥檚 efforts to improve access to higher education and this decision will make a difference for many in our state,鈥� said ISU President Kevin Satterlee.
