| Tuition Fee Waiver Program |
|
The tuition fee waiver program was established so that applicants who are unable to pay tuition fees or who experience hardship in doing so due to economic or other reasons can receive a waiver for either half or the whole amount of the fees after submitting an application. Applicants are ranked according to need based on household income, and waivers are granted accordingly within the budget so that, depending on necessity, the applicants may receive a waiver for all or half the tuition fees or no waiver at all.
