Tuition Waivers 

At Georgia Tech, we use the phrase “tuition waiver” for multiple scenarios.  Sometimes, we refer to a tuition waiver for the student, which means that the student is not paying his or her own tuition; rather, it is covered by other sources.  When this happens, it is actually “tuition remission.”  At other times, we use the phrase “tuition waiver” to indicate that Tech will never receive tuition for the student, from any source, and will have to find the funds to cover those costs internally.
