The University of Waterloo is waiving tuition fees for students from two First Nations whose traditional territory the institution is located on.
The university says the new waiver will apply to current and incoming full-time undergraduate or graduate students who are members of the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations, starting in September.
The school says it will also offer Ontario domestic tuition fee rates for Indigenous students from elsewhere in Canada and the United States, and it will continue to waive application fees for First Nations, Metis and Inuit applicants.
