Montanas public universities expand American Indian tuition waivers, dropping the one-quarter blood quantum rule and including unenrolled descendants. The change, approved in July 2025, was a response to federal funding threats following President Trumps executive order on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Tribal leaders criticized the board for not consulting them first, but educators see potential benefits, predicting more Native students could afford college. Existing waiver recipients keep their benefits, and the change may ease paths to higher education for many in Montana.
