How to Process Tuition Waiver Requests for Non-Employees

  1. Agency* that verifies eligibility notifies the Maricopa Community Colleges (Senior Manager of Human Resources or Manager of the Office of Public Stewardship at the District Office), making sure to include the college designation(s) the dependent will be attending.
  2. The Manager of the Office of Public Stewardship will notify the appropriate Admissions and Records and College Fiscal offices at the designated college(s). The college designee verifies eligibility via a database at: www.maricopa.edu/publicstewardship/resources/twNonEmp.php
  3. The dependent student will need to fill out the Non-Employee Tuition Waiver and submit it to each college they attend every semester.
  4. The District Office will maintain a copy of the eligibility notification provided by the appropriate agency.

*Verification of eligibility must be received on official stationary of peace officers, fire fighters, emergency paramedics association, Adjutant National Guard, Arizona Attorney General’s Office, or Arizona Department of Veterans Services. Verification may also be sent from the agency designee via email to the Manager of the Office of Public Stewardship.
