Request Letter to Delay Tuition Fee

It is a type of request letter that is written by the student or parents of that student to the institute to request the institute to delay the tuition fee.

Importance of requesting the delay in fee:

The institutes usually send the challan form to the student on the initial dates of every month if the fee is to be paid monthly. There is the last date of submission of the fee. The students are required to pay the fee before that date. The schools add a fine to the fee if the students don’t pay it before the last date. Therefore, students write the request to the school to ask them to delay the tuition fee.

How to write the request to delay tuition fees?

Therefore, a complete introduction, including the child’s name, class name, section name, and lots of other details, must be added. Furthermore, if you are writing on behalf of your child, you must tell your relationship with the child since the school does not accept the request of everyone.
  2. Discuss your problem: Since you cannot pay the fee because of being in a financial crisis that has arisen coronavirus outbreak, you should describe the effects of coronavirus on you and your financial life.

RE: Request to delay tuition fee due to COVID-19

Respected (name of the principal),

I am the mother of Richard James, who reads in 6th class, section B, in your school. I am very satisfied with the school’s education system and, therefore, want my child to continue his studies there.

Given the effects of the Coronavirus on the entire world, we can see people across the world suffering from an undue financial crisis. Our condition is no different from the rest of the world. Our financial condition is so bad that we are going through extreme pressure. I am requesting that you allow me to delay the tuition fee.

Considering the current situation, I am regretful that I have to ask you to do some delay in the tuition fee. I am hopeful that my child will be able to continue studies in your school as I have a plan to pay all the fees of the school once the pandemic period is over. I am hopeful that the school will provide me with the relief that I am asking for.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Regards,
