tuition waiver

School cost forgiveness

A tuition waiver is an arrangement where a school forgoes charging tuition, typically for employees, their dependents, or students meeting specific criteria.

Graduate students often receive tuition waivers as part of teaching or research assistantships: The fellowship includes a full tuition waiver and a monthly stipend.

Unlike scholarships, waivers cancel charges rather than providing funds to pay them.
