What is Tuition Break?

I knew that I wanted to attend the University of Connecticut and earn a degree that would allow me to pursue a career in the international realm. The Latin American Studies program at UConn allowed me that opportunity. Without the RSP Tuition Break, I would not have been able to afford the cost of this education without a large amount of debt. After graduating with about $20,000 in student loans, I was able to pay off 25% through my AmeriCorps Alumni Educational Stipend. These two programs allowed me to pay off my student loans in under 10 years.

It had been my dream to become an Occupational Therapist and knowing that none of my state’s schools provided me with that option. RSP Tuition Break gave me the opportunity to attend an out-of-state university while reducing the significant burden of the out-of-state cost. Without the RSP Tuition Break, I may not have had the chance to continue my education.

Thank you so much New England Board of Higher Education. The RSP Tuition Break allowed me to save thousands of dollars to use toward my graduate studies at a veterinary school in Europe. My undergrad studies at the University of New Hampshire featured an exchange semester in Alaska tracking Dusky Dolphin migration patterns and a semester in New Zealand studying Ecology. I am very thankful.

NEBHE’s Tuition Break is available to eligible students during every year of their journey towards a Pharm.D. degree. The cost savings over the course of the six-year Pharm.D. program is significant and helps ease the financial commitment that goes along with earning a professional degree and becoming a licensed, practicing pharmacist. We are fortunate to be able to offer this program to eligible New England students.

The RSP Tuition Break allowed me to major in Russian and minor in History without being forced to choose a more expensive private institution. The savings provided by the program lowered my debt load and enabled me to put my language skills into practice by seeking work abroad after graduation. I’m very grateful for the RSP Tuition Break and the role it’s played in my academic and professional growth.

I am very excited to attend the University of New Hampshire, my dream school, and receive a degree in a field that I am so passionate about, but most of all, it is reassuring to know that I will graduate without significant student loans. I cannot wait to see what the next four years have in store for me.
