It appears to actually be a "tuition waiver", it just looks like the state is paying for it because on my finance statement I'm billed full price, and then I get a credit from the state for half of it. All of the Seattle Community Colleges (South, Central, North) and Washington State waive 50% of the tuition. Bellevue Community College waives 33%.
