on yield, retention, and enrollment goals
• Review current tuition remission practices
Key Observations

room for improvement in its administration
• High out-of-state tuition impedes growth in
domestic and international markets
• Resolution requires careful “sticker” and
“discount” setting
• Must improve the balance of gift/grant v. general
fund scholarships/discounts
Deliverables
Recommendations will include and address:
• Appropriate in and out-of-state tuition levels
sensitive to markets and costs

populations and programs identified with the Provosts and Deans
• Improvement in policy consistency and
administration of tuition remission for employees
