I am not sure but I don’t think so. There are tax deductions and credits for Tuition/fees deductions but most are for students or parents (or whoever claims the student as a dependent). From the publication 970 about tuition fees tax deduction:



Generally, you can claim the tuition and fees deduction if all three of the following requirements are met.


You pay qualified education expenses of higher education
You pay the education expenses for an eligible student.
The eligible student is yourself, your spouse, or your dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your tax return.
