A NVIT Youth In Care Tuition Waiver request can be submitted to an Academic and Financial Planner. Click here for the NVIT Youth in Care Tuition Waiver Program application package. (A youth in care is designated as a individual with: a continuing custody order for a minimum of one year, an agreement with youth, a transfer of custody order.)
The aim of the Provincial Tuition Waiver Program (PTWP) is to improve access, services and educational outcomes for former youth in care by waiving tuition fees starting in September 2017. Tuition fees are defined as all tuition and mandatory fees a student must pay an institution in order to successfully complete the program/courses they are enrolled in.
The intent of the PTWP is to be inclusive. If an individual falls outside of the following eligibility criteria, the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training (AEST) will consider exceptions of an individual basis.
