Cost Overview
Most families pay around $2,065 annually after financial aid at this tribal college. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $2,188 per year, while those from $48-75K income families pay $5,749. Over four years, total costs range from $8,752 to $22,996. Nearly half of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the economic challenges on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
The college charges the same tuition for all students at $2,684, whether from South Dakota or elsewhere. Room and board adds $7,200 for the limited on-campus housing that serves just 35 students. With 98.6% of students coming from in-state, most live locally rather than on campus. The best deal goes to low-income Native American students who can earn a degree for less than $9,000 total while staying connected to their community and cultural heritage.
