A. The Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver is an Act to provide free tuition for North American Indians, who can verify at least blood, and have lived in Michigan for at least one year, to any Michigan public community college or university. The state pays the tuition not the Tribe. The state pays for tuition because it historically agreed to provide Indians with education, only it shut down the Indian school in 1932 hence the development of the Waiver in 1971.
