    Funding

    Presidential Tuition Waivers Presidential Tuition Waivers (PTW) are competitively awarded to out-of-state and international students based on academic performance and/or test scores. All admitted out-of-state and international students who are legally present in the US will be considered and the qualifications of recipients will depend on the competitiveness of the pool.

    Recipients may be awarded a half PTW which allows students to pay tuition at the in-state tuition rate plus half the out-of-state rate, or a full PTW which allows recipients to pay tuition at the in-state rate, for up to ten semesters if renewal criteria are met. This results in a savings of up to $25,000 to $50,000 over four years.
