I have 100% tuition remission for a PsyD program. I had to apply and get accepted. I paid $1100 in student fees. Took a full time 3 course load. Working FT and FT courses. The taxable benefit deduction is was brutal because it gets deducted from my paycheck. But I prefer tuition remission than paying $200,000 in loans for the entire program.
thank you so much for sharing your experience! dang 3 classes in a full time psyd program on top of working full time sounds super challenging. congratulations on finding a way to make it work for you! i agree, despite not making a lot of money at the time i did my master's and being anxious about how little some of my paychecks were, i would definitely take that over the loans. i know everyone's situation is different and that loans are some folks' only option, so i feel super grateful that i had this benefit. best wishes as you continue in your program! :)
very useful video; thank you for sharing! i just have to say solidarity/trauma from working a ft job/pt job and doing a masters. it is the ghetteaux. also i largely feel as though the master's degree is a SCAM.
thanks temi! and oh yeah, 100% a scam. they're calling master's degrees the "new bachelors" when most jobs honestly probably don't even need a bachelors to do well. and i'm glad both of us made it to where we are now :)
Very useful video' I seacher the bu website, and I found the tuition remission policy is offered for Empolyee? Is the M.S degree student also count for a employee?
i'm so glad you found the video useful! my understanding is that all full-time bu employees have access to tuition remission, but they might have some exceptions or have since changed that policy. i think this link talks about it: www.bu.edu/hr/learningbu/tuition-remission/ i don't think an M.S. degree student counts as a full time employee, unfortunately. but if you want to double check with them i'd just call financial aid or student services office affiliated with your program to inquire about it. good luck!
@@haodongwang9196 i don't recall anyone sending me an official link, but the link i listed above was probably the most helpful for me (and i think also the one that i used for the video, but it's been a while): www.bu.edu/hr/learningbu/tuition-remission/ it talks about eligibility, what tuition remission covers, and tax information. hope it helps!

Were you working at BU when you applied for the tuition remission?
yes i was! usually you have to be a full time employee to utilize tuition remission.
