Jay Treaty Fee Adjustment for Indigenous Students

McMaster University is referencing their responsibilities under the Jay Treaty of 1794 by extending domestic (Ontario) tuition fees to Indigenous students whose ancestral homelands are within the United States.    

Who is eligible? 

Students who meet the following definition of Indigenous and whose Indigenous homeland is in the United Status are invited to complete this application for a fee adjustment.  

There are many definitions of Indigenous: For the purposes of ancestry verification on Turtle Island we define Indigenous as: “First Nation, Metis and Inuit”. We extend this to the United States (i.e., verification of identities including American Indians/Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians).  

Please voluntarily self-identify as:  

• First Nations (Status/Non-Status)  
• Métis  
• Inuit 
• American Indians/Native Americans 
• Alaska Natives 
• Native Hawaiians

How to apply? 

The Indigenous Student Services office will submit a Service Request in Mosaic to collect your supporting document and complete the identity verification process.  Please contact the Sr. Advisor, Indigenous Student Services for assistance on how to apply for a fee adjustment at indigsc@mcmaster.ca.
