The University of California Office of the President has launched the Native American Opportunity Plan (NAOP). This is a new initiative designed to ensure that in-state systemwide Tuition and Student Services Fees are fully covered for California students who are also enrolled in federally recognized Native American, American Indian, and Alaska Native tribes. This plan applies to undergraduate and graduate students. Non-resident supplemental tuition (NRST), campus fees and Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition are not part of the Native American Opportunity Plan.

titleMy department has offered tuition remission via an employment position (IA or GSR) to cover my fees. Does this fulfil the NAOP requirement?

Yes - see the second FAQ on the UCOP NAOP page:

Q: Are the funds provided to students through the UC Native American Opportunity Plan considered loans? Will students have to pay them back?

A: No, these funds are not loans and students do not need to pay them back. They fall under the category of tuition remission, grants, and scholarships from federal, state, university or private sources.

Note: funding sources and financial support packaging will be unique to each student depending on program/degree and department. Departments may provide support for tuition and fees as a benefit of employment, such as a GSR etc. Students Students can reach out to their Graduate Funding Coordinator within their home department for assistance. If needed, Graduate Funding Coordinators may submit a Services & Support ticket to GEPA for clarification.
