Graduate School page on TRB >

Students employed as teaching assistants (TAs), assistant instructors (AIs), and some graduate research assistants (GRAs)* are eligible for a Tuition Reduction Benefit related to their student academic employment. The amount is based on the number of hours of the appointment and the availability of funding. 

Please note: The Tuition Reduction Benefit reduces your tuition bill; it is not a payment. If you paid your tuition before the Tuition Reduction Benefit was applied to your bill, you will receive the TRB as a reimbursement approximately 1 to 2 weeks after the 12th class day via your current method of deposit. 

If you have a Zero balance tuition bill after all waivers and exemptions (and before a TRB has been applied), you will not receive a tuition reduction benefit.

*The benefit is not always available to GRAs. 

Please contact Tasha Marshall if you have any question or concerns about TRB processing. 

Information about TRB eligibility, amounts, processing dates, etc can be found on the Graduate School TRB page >

Students who are not residents of Texas when they begin graduate study are subject to nonresident tuition rates, but under certain circumstances, some may qualify for resident tuition. Information about eligibility and how to apply for the waiver can be found on the Graduate School Student Employment site >
