Resident/Non-Resident Tuition

Resident students are defined as those students who (1) are enrolled as members of a federally recognized Tribe or Alaska Native Corporation, or (2) a biological child of a federally registered Tribal member-living or deceased, or (3) are covered by the Jay Treaty. All must provide Northwest Indian College with documentation of proof.

Non-Resident students meeting one of the following criteria will also be considered Resident students for tuition paying purposes once documentation has been provided to the College:

Demonstrated Indian ancestry and live on or near an Indian reservation
Spouse or dependent of a Resident student
Permanent full-time employee of Northwest Indian College or Tribal agency within the NWIC service area
Spouse or dependent of Northwest Indian College or Tribal agency employee within the NWIC service area

All other students are considered Non-Resident students for tuition paying purposes.
