<p>I was just wondering what colleges offer tuition benefits for your children if you are an employee. I heard Notre Dame does after you have been employed for a year.</p>
<p>Does anyone know any others?</p>
<p>Mae</p>
<p>Case Western does this too.</p>
<p>A lot have some sort of provision. Our state flagship offers half-tuition to the school, but it is after five years of employment. </p>
<p>There are a number of private universities that will give faculty kids some tuition reimbursement to any accredited university. Not sure if it applies to other employees, though.</p>
<p>I believe USC in California gives a good break to kids of employees–not just faculty.</p>
<p>I work at a public midwestern university. All full-time employees get 1/2 off undergraduate tuition for their dependents. Half-time employees get 1/4 off.</p>
<p>I know of several schools (both private and public) in several states that offer something similar. If you are interested in pursuing employment at a school to take advantage of a tuition break for a dependent, go to the specific school’s human resources website and look at benefits. Some places make you work for a minimum amount of time before the benefit kicks it.</p>
<p>I have a D in college, and a S who is a jr in HS. D has taken a couple of classes here - one as a hs student, one while home last summer. Neither wants to stay home and go to college where mom works.</p>
<p>Moonchild is correct about USC. However with staff, it takes 15 years for the benefit to vest. For faculty, it’s automatic. There’s also some reduced tuition for spouses available as well.</p>
<p>NYU. But there are some fees to be paid, not very much.</p>
<p>My son just received tuition exchange for all five of the schools he was accepted to. It is competitive, not automatic. Check with your HR dept. You can also google tuition exchange to see the schools on the list.</p>
<p>Columbia.
…</p>
<p>At USC you get full tuition for children. The benefit starts the semester after you start. If you work there 15 years, you vest so you can leave and still get the benefit.</p>
<p>Spouses get half tuition and you can get up to 6 undergrad or 4 grad units a semester.</p>
<p>Columbia has one of the best programs as it kicks in on day one of employment. Children of employees get 100% tuition remission at Columbia and their affiliated schools as undergrads and half tuition anywhere else!</p>
<p>Tulane. At least it did when I worked there a few years ago.</p>
<p>Some schools participate in tuition exchange in addition to offering reduced fees at their own school. HOWEVER, the families we know have to pay taxes on a portion of this benefit…it’s not completely free.</p>
<p>Davidson College</p>
<p>Gee, anyone else think that this might make College employees less sensitive to tuition issues the rest of us face?</p>
<p>Yale pays 1/2 I think, although less now than a few years ago. I think you have to be there 5 years.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. Just because a parent works for a college or university doesn’t mean the child should automatically go there. There is the same question that everyone else deals with - Is it academically a good fit? </p>
<p>There was no way our kids were going to the college where my H works. We went through the same angst everyone else goes through when searching for colleges for our first child. She had to look for great schools that would give her great merit money and aid (which she did). But it still cost us.</p>
<p>So we are just as sensitive to tuition issues as everyone else.</p>
<p>Iowa State doesn’t offer anything. My D’s boyfriends mom is a full professor there. The boyfriend and his siblings all go there with no breaks. They live at home to save the room and board costs.</p>
<p>Pitt does. Fordham does, A lot of schools do but in many different forms. Some just offer free tuition for the school itself, while others have some exchange programs. I know Cornell gives a tuition benefit to any school that a faculty/ some employees’ children attends, with a full tuition remission for Cornell students in this category. </p>
<p>These benefits have changed, mostly been reduced in the last 10-20 years, I know. My friend would get free tuition for her D at the school where she works, but nothing for going to other schools when it used to be that an amount equal to the tuition would be given for any college. The benefits can also depend on the job position, seniority and some even have lotteries. So you have to check what is available NOW for any given position.</p>
<p>Penn does also</p>
