⁷ The military preferred tuition discount does not apply to students enrolled in IWU-Marion residential campus, School of Health Sciences, uLeap, nurse practitioner, doctoral, or graduate counseling programs. The military preferred tuition discount for master's programs is not applicable to spouses and dependents. Other exclusions may apply. Ask your enrollment counselor for additional details.
While it is our top priority to make students aware of available preferred tuition rates during the enrollment process, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to notify IWU should they become eligible for a preferred tuition once enrolled.
Preferred tuition rates are not automatically applied. Students must complete and submit a preferred tuition application and proof of eligibility in order to receive a preferred tuition rate.
Preferred tuition rates may be retroactively applied back to the beginning of the student’s current financial aid period only or the equivalent for those students not utilizing student financial aid.
