Honors Fee Waiver Program

Application Forms


Please note: State law now requires that a person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student pursuant to A.R.S. Section 15-1802 or entitled to classification as a county resident pursuant to A.R.S. Section 15-1802.01.

According to state law, a person who is not a citizen of the United States, who is without lawful immigration status, and who is enrolled at any community college under the jurisdiction of an Arizona community college district is not entitled to tuition waivers, grants, scholarship assistance, financial aid, tuition assistance or any other type of financial assistance that is subsidized or paid in whole or in part with state monies.

Continuing and transfer students who have accumulated a minimum of 12 credits in courses numbered 100 or above (Pass/Fail credits excluded) in MCCCD courses and who have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 may apply for the Honors Fee Waiver Program. New Fee Waiver candidates are required to submit an application and essay to the Honors Program Coordinator prior to the start of classes. Students who are accepted will receive partial tuition fee waivers (refunds) based on the number of credits for which they are enrolled (see the following breakdown), summer sessions excluded:

Number of credits: 12 or more
Amount of Fee Waiver: $325.00

Number of credits: 9-11
Amount of Fee Waiver: $244.00

Number of credits: 6-8
Amount of Fee Waiver: $163.00

Number of credits: 3-5
Amount of Fee Waiver: $81.00

Students who are accepted into the Honors Fee Waiver program must meet the following requirements:
  • Enroll in and complete the number of credits (Pass/Fail credits excluded) for which a partial fee waiver has been awarded;

  • Enroll in and complete the Honors Humanities course or Honors Option courses as required by the program each semester;

  • Maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher, including earning a C or better in the honors course each semester.

How scholarships are dispersed:

Fee waiver students must pay all of their fees by the date on the billing statement. A refund check will be mailed after the Honors Contract has been approved (3-4 weeks into the semester).

NOTE: Failure to comply with the above requirements will result in cancellation of the partial fee waiver.


University transfer benefits 

ASU now offers the opportunity for a transfer scholarship for Fee Waiver Scholars who successfully complete 48 credit hours at the time of transfer (100 level or higher letter graded) and has successfully completed 4 honors courses. The student must have been an MCCCD Honors student for at least 2 semesters at the time of application. Visit the ASU Alliance website for more information: ASU Alliance Website
