Howard University offers tuition rebates to qualified graduates for up to half of their tuition costs that were paid out-of-pocket for the Spring 2025 semester. The Tuition Rebate Program provides a great incentive for students to complete degree requirements and graduate on time.
Below are the eligibility requirements for the University’s 2025 Tuition Rebate Program:
An evaluation will be performed during the first week of June for 2025 graduates (Fall 2021 cohort). Please be advised that students who qualify for the Tuition Rebate will be directly notified via email (there is no application process for the Tuition Rebate Program). Once the Office of the Bursar has determined the eligible students, their information will be forwarded to the Office of Financial Aid for coding before the Bursar’s office processes the rebate to student accounts.
Only for those students who have enough awarded and accepted financial aid to cover their semester balances-or- those who have submitted documentation for an approved third party billing contract before the payment deadline will the hold be released. Please note, if a third-party contract or pending aid will not cover your entire balance, you must also pay the anticipated difference by the payment deadline. For all other students who receive a financial hold on their account, the balance must be under $200.00, no exceptions.

Financial aid is money used to help students and their families pay for college. Financial aid can come from the federal government, the state where the student lives, the school the student attends, or a nonprofit or private organization. Financial aid is used to cover all educational expenses. Financial aid comes in the form of grants, institutional and external scholarships, work study and loans.
