Tuition Remission

Most graduate students, who hold assistantship positions of at least 25% of the time, are eligible for tuition benefits. Tuition remission is awarded by the University to reduce the amount of tuition you pay. Tuition remission is credited to your student account. Financial Aid assumes that most graduate students will hold an assistantship and receive tuition remission; thus tuition remission may be included on your award package. However, the estimated tuition remission is not a guarantee that you will receive an assistantship or other academic appointments.

Dependent children of current employees, retirees and deceased employees are eligible for tuition remission.

Full-time members of the faculty and staff of Howard University who have served a minimum of one year continuous service are also entitled to remission of tuition. For further information contact the Office of Human Capital Management.
