All National University employees and their eligible dependents are provided the opportunity to enroll in programs offered by NU and other Affiliates with a full or partial tuition waiver following 6 months of continuous employment. The Doctorate and JD programs are limited and require Dean and President approval. If approved, employees will receive a 25% discount on Doctorate and JD programs.

Who is eligible?

• Full-time employees: eligible for full tuition waiver
• Part-time employees: eligible for 25% tuition waiver

Taxation:

The waived portion of tuition fees for education at the graduate level is considered by the IRS to be a taxable fringe benefit. Therefore, the waiver amount is subject to withholding, and must be included in gross income that is reported to the IRS. Please consult with your tax advisor to best determine treatment on your tax return
