I was recieving tuition reimbursement at my last job. I went for two years and then the tuition manager changed. I was confronted by human resources because I did not submit my grant info. I didn't know i was supposed to, nobody ever asked me for anything, and I signed a waiver granting them full access to my account at school. They were mad and did not believe me so I had toI quit so they would not fire me, but now how do I explain that to interviewers?

You could tell them the truth with all of the details, but there is really no need to do so and you might sound like you are "protesting too much".
You can still tell the truth in a very generalized way such as "There was a change in management and I realized it would be best for my career to look for a position in a more compatible work environment." You could really shine if you throw in something about how your former employer was well-served by your decision because every company deserves employees who are enthusiastic and whole-hearted in their employment. [Or something like that.]

Many job applications ask "have you been fired, terminated, or asked to resign." That last one is your case. You are required to respond "yes." At which point, you should explain the situation in as-positive light as possible.
Do not lie.
If I understand your situation, a simple "There was some confusion as to how my tuition reimbursement was supposed to work. Instead of seeking to resolve the situation, my employer asked that I resign."

Tell them the truth. Never lie in a situation like this. Maybe they can straighten it all out for you. If not you may end up footing the bill. Have you passed with passing grades? That is a requirement for companies to pay for your education. Do not wait any longer or it may appear as if you are lying.
Good Luck.

ALWAYS read the terms of a benefit you received.
You could have been in line for a nice salary increase - but now your new employer will hold this against you when determining your salary if an offer is made.
If you DON'T tell you prospective employer - you will be immediately canned.
