The Western Undergraduate Exchange  (WUE) is an agreement among WICHE’s 16 members, through which 160+ participating public colleges and universities provide steep nonresident tuition savings for Western students. Click here for the full list of participating WUE schools!

Through WUE, eligible students can choose from hundreds of undergraduate programs outside their home state, and pay no more than 150 percent of that institution’s resident tuition rate. 

Since full nonresident college-tuition rates may exceed 300 percent of resident rates, WUE increases affordable higher-education choices for students, and minimizes the adverse impacts of student loan debt.

Portland State University’s Native American Tuition Program (NATP) ensures that undergraduate, graduate, and postbaccalaureate students who are enrolled members of any one of the U.S. Federally Recognized Tribes will pay the equivalent of resident (in-state) tuition regardless of state or country of residence. NATP does not cover housing, meals, books, or personal expenses.
