UIC To Offer In-State Tuition To American Indian And Alaska Native Students

CHICAGO (CBS)-- The University of Illinois at Chicago is hoping to attract more American Indian and Alaska Native students with a new tuition perk.

The school will offer in-state tuition prices for members of the 573 tribal nations.

Currently, in-state students pay a base tuition of $10,000 and out-of-state students pay $24,000.

There are fewer American Indian and Alaska Native students attending college than any other minority group.
