If I receive a 50% tuition benefit fall semester and a 50% tuition benefit spring semester, have I used only one semester of eligibility since 50 plus 50 adds up to 100?
• No. Whether a student receives a 100%, a 75%, or a 50% tuition benefit during a semester, it counts as using one semester of eligibility. Example: If a Master’s candidate receives a 50% benefit during both fall and spring, two semesters of eligibility were used with two semesters of eligibility remaining. • If I receive a Master’s degree in, say Chemistry, then apply for and am accepted into Biology for a second Master’s degree, am I now eligible for two additional years of TBP support, since this is a new degree? • No. A University of Utah graduate student is eligible for a one-time tuition benefit. At the Master’s level, this is 4 semesters with 6 additional semesters of TBP support if accepted as a doctoral candidate. The maximum number of semesters a Ph.D. student entering with a bachelor’s degree may participate in the TBP is 10 semesters or five years. Exceptions to this rule are: (1) A student with a Master’s degree from another institution is accepted to a U of U doctoral pro
