ULethbridge, AU announce tuition, application fee initiatives for Indigenous students

The University of Lethbridge and Athabasca University have announced changes to their tuition and application fees to improve access to education for Indigenous students. AU has reduced its tuition fees by 10% for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit undergraduate students in Canada as part of its efforts to enhance access and equity for Indigenous students. The change took effect at the start of September. ULethbridge has announced two changes: Application fees have been waived for self-declared Canadian Indigenous students and members of Aamskapi Pikuni, the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, will now be eligible for domestic tuition rates.
