Tribal Heritage Scholarship

This scholarship program helps fund American Indian students' first bachelor's and master's degrees at Northeastern State University. Eligible students will receive a non-resident tuition waiver covering 100% of their non-resident tuition. Non-Resident tuition is $334.25 per credit hour for undergraduates and $365.25 per credit hour for graduate students, in addition to in-state tuition. Students must pay the in-state portion of their tuition, which is $245.25 per credit hour for undergraduates and $309.75 per credit hour for graduate students.

Eligibility Requirements:

1. Must not be a resident of the state of Oklahoma (not admitted as in-state)
2. Must meet regular admission requirements as an incoming freshman, transfer, or graduate student. (Students who are admitted alternatively, on probation, or conditionally are not eligible.)
3. Must enroll full-time (12 hours for undergraduate and at least 6 hours for graduate) at NSU
4. Must possess a tribal citizenship card from a federally recognized tribe, which you will upload to the scholarship application
