Tuition Remission Benefit

Wright State University encourages employees and their dependents and contract employees to enroll for classes. For this reason, the university has a tuition and fee remission benefit for all eligible employees, their dependents, and contract employees.

Who is eligible?
Those employed at least 75% of full-time over a twelve-month period.

How many courses/hours can be taken using the fee remission benefit?

Are there any exclusions?

When a dependent is the student…

Who is eligible?
An eligible employee’s spouse, children, and step-children. Children and step-children must be tax dependents for federal income tax purposes.
