Iḷisaġvik offers tuition waivers that can cover the cost of tuition for several groups: North Slope Borough residents (the Mayor's waiver, which also covers course fees), Alaska Native/American Indian students living off the Slope, North Slope Borough School District teachers and paraprofessionals, and elders (borough residents age 62+). The waiver covers tuition only — you still pay course fees, registration fees, books, and supplies (except under the Mayor's waiver, which also covers course fees). You must reapply every semester before the class withdrawal deadline and meet academic standards (passing two-thirds of your classes and a 2.0 GPA). Apply through the Financial Aid Office; details at ilisagvik.edu.
