Have you heard that the majority of fees are now waived for employees utilizing the tuition waiver? This has always been one of the greatest benefits available to us, and now it's even more accessible. In celebration of this, we've put together a series of sessions to share more about how the waiver works, support you in exploring UM's academic offerings, share advice for applying to graduate programs, and guide you to take concrete steps to put your plan into action. We recommend attending all sessions in this series, as the content will build on itself to create a greater depth of understanding and progress toward utilizing the waiver. Participants who attend at least three sessions will receive fun school supplies to support them on their educational journey!
