Tuition Programs

Columbia offers several programs for tuition, both at and outside of the University.

  • At Columbia: The Tuition Exemption Benefit Program is offered for both officers and support staff, so that you and your family members may take courses at Columbia.

  • At Other Colleges: College Tuition Scholarships for officers' children can help offset the costs of college tuition outside Columbia. 

  • At Primary Schools: Primary Tuition Scholarships for officers' children can help offset the costs of primary schools.

Some collective bargaining units offer additional tuition benefits for their members; please see Union Contracts for more information.

For additional details and eligibility requirements, please read the Benefits descriptions found on the Human Resources website.
