tuition credits

Prepaid education units

Tuition credits are amounts that reduce what a student owes for education, typically earned through prepaid tuition plans, scholarships, or tax benefits.

Parents may purchase tuition credits when a child is young, locking in current rates against future increases.

In tax contexts, tuition credits directly reduce tax liability for educational expenses: We claimed the tuition credit on our return.
