Cost Overview

Native American families pay around $8,500 annually after aid at this federally chartered tribal college. Net costs rise from $8,461 for families earning under $30,000 to $11,208 for those making $48,000-$75,000. A two-year degree costs roughly $17,000 total.

The college serves as a specialized polytechnic institute focused on career training for tribal communities. With enrollment at just 233 students, the institution maintains a 7:1 student-faculty ratio. Only 34% of students receive federal aid, reflecting the unique funding structure of tribal colleges. The $675 annual room and board makes on-campus housing remarkably affordable compared to traditional colleges.

Students earning under $30,000 get the best financial deal here, paying the lowest net price while accessing technical programs designed for Native American career advancement. The college's mission centers on providing accessible education within tribal communities rather than generating profit.
