This policy addresses the parameters that govern: Talon Athletic Tuition Waivers, Cultural Diversity Tuition Waivers, Fine Arts Tuition Waivers, Spouse or Dependent Tuition Waivers, DSU Rodeo Awards, Institutional Waivers, Senior Citizen Waivers, Academic Achievement Waivers, Early Bird Waivers, Housing Waivers, along with Centennial Merit Scholarships, Heritage Merit Scholarships, Cornerstone Merit Scholarships, and Transfer Merit Scholarships.
