NATP Notification
A notification will be sent via email confirming eligibility for the program. Students whose uploaded documents are not verified will be contacted directly regarding their status with the University.
NATP applies to any undergraduate, graduate, or postbaccalaureate credit-bearing course offered at PSU and is not limited by degree, certificate, or academic program. It is automatically applied to financial aid awards once the appropriate documentation is provided and approved. Students can view the discount on their financial aid award their Financial Aid Dashboard once it has been applied.
PSU students who are eligible for other institutional aid cannot receive financial assistance in excess of the total direct cost of tuition and fees billed by PSU. This policy does not affect state financial aid programs that are available to residents of Oregon.
Financial aid awards for students who are enrolled members of one of the nine tribes of Oregon, and who receive financial aid as a result, will not have their financial aid awards changed or altered as a result of NATP.
Students majoring in programs in the College of the Arts, Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, The School of Business, the University Honors College, and some online programs pay a higher rate per credit (differential tuition). Differential tuition costs are not covered by NATP and students are responsible for paying these costs.
Maintaining NATP
After Tribal enrollment is verified students remain eligible for NATP for the duration of their enrollment at PSU. NATP is automatically applied to student accounts prior to the start of each term.
If circumstances require an enrolled student to be away from PSU for a term or more, and they continue to meet NATP eligibility criteria, they will retain their ability to receive the NATP discount upon re-enrollment.
