Tution Fee Waiver

Tuition fee waivers reduce or remove some or all of a student’s tuition charges, subject to the conditions set by a university, government, or scholarship provider. This Scholarship Union topic page helps undergraduate and postgraduate students explore waiver opportunities and understand how they may fit into a wider funding plan. A waiver may be awarded for academic achievement, financial need, research activity, a particular programme, or other eligibility factors; terms vary by institution and destination.

Use the related post as a starting point, then check the official university or funding-provider page for current award values, eligible courses, application deadlines, required documents, and renewal rules. Some waivers cover only part of tuition, while others may apply for a limited period or require students to maintain academic progress. They generally do not automatically cover accommodation, travel, insurance, or living expenses. Compare each opportunity carefully, confirm whether a separate admission or scholarship application is needed, and verify all details directly with the provider before applying. Scholarship Union shares opportunities to support your search, but final eligibility and award decisions rest with the relevant institution.
