UC’s Native American Opportunity Plan ensures that in-state systemwide Tuition and Student Services Fees are fully covered for California students who are also enrolled in federally recognized Native American, American Indian, and Alaska Native tribes. This plan applies to undergraduate and graduate students.

What's covered

If you are eligible for the Native American Opportunity Plan, your in-state systemwide Tuition and Student Services Fees will be fully covered by either UC financial aid or another federal, state or other financial aid program. 

Students with greater financial need can qualify for even more grant support to help pay other educational expenses (like books, housing, transportation, etc.).

You don't need to fill out a separate application to qualify for the Native American Opportunity Plan. If you qualify, UC will contact you directly with further instructions. If you think you may qualify and have not been contacted by UC, reach out to your Native American student resource or community center or campus financial aid office.

If you are a member of a tribe that is not federally recognized, additional support may available through external organizations, including through the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria Scholarship Fund. We encourage you to work with your campus’s Native American resource center or community center to identify these opportunities.
