Tuition Incentive Program (TIP)

The Tuition Incentive Program (TIP) allows out-of-state students who qualify for any WKU scholarship to receive a discount of nearly 50% off the out-of-state tuition rate.

To qualify for this automatic award, a student must be a full-time, first-time freshman entering WKU in fall 2021 or later. Recipients of the Tuition Incentive Program Scholarship can still stack on other WKU scholarships.
