Tuition
Tuition means instruction, teaching or a fee charged for educational instruction especially at a formal institution of learning.
Tuition is charged by educational institutions to assist with funding of staff and faculty, course offerings, lab equipment, computer systems, libraries, facility upkeeping, and to provide a comfortable learning experience for its students.
Some methods students use to pay tuition include:
Scholarships
Bursaries
Grants
Parents' money
Their own savings
Government student loans
Financial institution loans
Educational institution loans
Company funding
Most students who pay for tuition have fees that are greater than their savings. Thus, some students have to take part time jobs and/or take out loans. Those who take part time jobs worry about handling both the course load and working. Those who take out loans have to ensure they are able to re-pay or else risk bad credit ratings.

Students were then asked to offer money for the teacher's subsistence. For example, Confucius is reputed to have been the first among the Chinese to support himself by teaching.
This is in contrast to customs in tribal people where it was usual for elders to undertake education of children. In modern times, many developed countries have adopted a dual scheme for education: while basic (ie. high school) education is free, higher education is usually given for a fee or tuition.
Tuition raises interesting questions about the divisions between the rich and poor. It is well-known that high tuitions are a deterrent to students wishing to undertake higher education. This level of deterrence is not unfamiliar with the financial capacities of the student and his family; effectively, students from
