Tuition remission / remittance is the setting aside responsibility of payment due for education rendered. Essentially, if a school says "We offer 100% tuition remittance,"

It is sometimes extended to their immediate families, including spouses and children. Tuition remission programs are sometimes offered as compensation for graduate student teaching assistant or research fellow appointments. Tuition remission programs may remit, or lay aside, part or all of the normally required tuition. Examples are the Massachusetts state tuition remittance program or the University of Minnesota Graduate School tuition remittance program (linked below). .
