Funding & subsidy

Tuition assistance

Tuition assistance is any reduction in the fee a family pays, funded by the provider rather than a government program — sibling discounts, staff discounts, scholarship funds, or sliding-scale rates.

Unlike subsidy, tuition assistance is revenue the provider forgoes, so it belongs in financial reporting as a discount rather than an unpaid balance.
