About This School

Haskell Indian Nations University is a public institution located in Lawrence, Kansas with approximately 878 undergraduate students enrolled. Haskell Indian Nations University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 88%. The average net price after financial aid is $3,031 per year. The graduation rate is 43%, and the typical graduate earns $27,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

Haskell Indian Nations University is a public tribal land-grant university in Lawrence, Kansas, United States. Founded in 1884 as a residential boarding school for Native American children, the school has developed into a university operated by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs that offers both associate and baccalaureate degrees. The college was founded to serve members of federally recognized Native American tribes in the United States. It is the oldest continually operating federal school for American Indians.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,031/year after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options in the country, and its unique mission serving federally recognized tribal members makes it a genuinely meaningful fit for Native American students seeking community and cultural continuity. That said, a 43% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than half of students who start here finish — and median earnings of $27,500 a decade out suggest limited economic lift for graduates. Worth considering if the cultural mission resonates and cost is a primary factor, but look hard at support services and have a clear plan for staying on track to graduation.
