Financial Aid and Scholarships

Tuition waivers are financial aid awards that waive a portion of your tuition and fees for state-supported courses. Except for the Veteran Spouse and Dependent Waiver, tuition waivers are generally not available for self-supporting courses (summer sessions, online courses, continuing education courses, and some off-campus programs). Some tuition waivers are available to both undergraduate and graduate students.
