To defer the balance

Consider the following sentence:


"The college renewed my Needy Student Scholarship covering half my tuition and agreed TO DEFER THE BALANCE of the tuition until after I graduated."


What does it mean 'TO DEFER THE BALANCE of the tuition'?


Is it to 'maintain the same amount of the tuition'?

" The balance of your tuition is the half that will not be paid by your scholarship. The college is saying that you do not have to pay this balance now. You can wait until after you graduate, and pay it then.
