The following is an estimated breakdown of tuition waivers for 2008-2009 .

Waiver Type	Average Per Student	Total Number of Waivers	Amount of Waivers Granted
Foreign Students	$5566	513	$2,855,848
Graduate Students	$5431	1240	$6,735,326
WICHE Waivers	$5388	21	$113,154

Average Waiver, per student receiving a waiver: $3597


Notes:

As of 2009, 858 graduate students receive graduate assistantships which include tuition waivers.  This is 40% of graduate students.
We do not believe this takes into account various scholarships including the cultural diversity scholarships, merit-based scholarships, and fellowships, etc.

See Documents on tuition waivers granted to students in North Dakota’s university system (http://legacy.inforum.com/pdfs/ND%20University%20Tuition%20Waivers.pdf) and North Dakota college presidents defend tuition breaks (http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/266543/), from the Fargo Forum for more information.

What, no athletes getting a full ride?  I guess that would count as a scholarship even though it's coming out of the school's pockets.

Yea, that is a bit fishy... not surprising.
