If you qualify, based on criteria determined by your school, you will simply be excused from paying. How To Qualify Tuition waivers are more common than you might think, although whether you qualify will vary by institution. Below, we explain some of the most common situations that would allow you to successfully qualify for a full or partial tuition waiver: • Financial need: Tuition waivers are granted to students who demonstrate a financial need, either because they have no parental assistance or because their parents’ income falls below a certain level. While the maximum household income level will vary from school to school, it is often 40 or 60 thousand dollars a year. • Employed by the school: More common for graduate students, if you are a full-time employee of the institution where you want to study, you can...
