Tuition benefit plans are set up by employers or agencies to help students and parents pay for college costs.

These programs may affect your award package. Please contact the [Financial Aid and Scholarships Office](https://fas.ucsd.edu/contact/index.html) prior to submitting your authorization if you are concerned about any award changes.

## How to use funds from your tuition benefit plan

Provide the agency or employer with a [copy of your bill](https://itsweb.ucsd.edu/studentEBill2/StudentBilling). UC San Diego does not send separate student bills to tuition benefit plan agencies.

Have the agency or employer mail checks directly to the UC San Diego TritonPay Office. For details about how and where to send the check, see [Ways to Pay Your Bill](https://students.ucsd.edu/finances/billing-payment/paying/index.html).
