Did anyone apply for and get the tuition exchange award at Syracuse in the past year or two? It used to be awarded to all/most who applied for it, but not sure about now. TE and merit anyone?
According to HR at Syracuse (Oct 2021), tuition exchange is offered to all who are eligible, meaning 100% of those who apply will receive it. Hope that helps.

This sounds like TE is not offered to all students:
Tuition Exchange Program
An eligible dependent who is matriculated as a full-time undergraduate student pursuing their first baccalaureate degree at an institution that participates with Tuition Exchange, Inc. may apply to receive a Tuition Exchange Scholarship. The program is limited to a maximum of eight semesters and excludes Summer Session courses. Scholarships are not guaranteed as they are awarded by the institutions according to their own criteria. Students denied a Tuition Exchange scholarship may apply to participate in the Cash Grant Program. The availability, value and duration of each scholarship is not guaranteed

The Syracuse page on the TE website (which the Syracuse main website suggests going to) says 11%-40% of new TE applicants receive a TE scholarship:
I am not sure if Syracuse will stack TE and merit, you would need to ask the FA department for clarity on that. Good luck.
This section you are quoting applies to dependents of syracuse employees who apply to other institutions with TE. Syracuse does award TE to all full time accepted dependents of eligible TE parents
