Tuition Waivers

UAMS Non-Resident Academic Tuition Waiver

An application does not guarantee a waiver.  There is a limited number of waivers available in this category. 

The UAMS Non-Resident Academic Tuition Waiver program is established with the following objectives:

    • Enable UAMS to recruit and retain students into its education programs who exhibit the highest level of academic achievement.
    • Improve UAMS’ ability to compete with its peer institutions in other states for highly sought after students.
    • Increase the geographic diversity of the applicant pools for UAMS education programs.
    • Help defray rising cost of education for students from other states who could not afford to enroll at UAMS otherwise.

Tuition Discounts, Waivers, and Residency Exceptions

There are a number of standard Tuition Discounts, Waivers and Residency Exceptions available to UAMS students. Many require an application and approval prior to the beginning of any term for which they are applied. Visit the Student Financial Services website to learn more.
