| We are pleased to announce the College’s
renewed association with Tuition Exchange.
Tuition Exchange was chartered in 1954 and is a national scholarship exchange program
for institutions of higher education. The College rejoined Tuition Exchange in 1998
after a number of years absence.
All full-time employees with one year or more of full-time service will be eligible
to participate in the Tuition Exchange Program.
The program allows
dependents of eligible employees, an opportunity to earn a
scholarship at more than 550 colleges and universities nationwide.
It also allows dependents of staff at the other membership
institutions an opportunity to earn a scholarship here at
Dickinson. Both incoming and outgoing scholarships are based
on the membership institution’s regular admissions processes.
Eligibility alone does not guarantee student acceptance into
an institution or a scholarship award. Awards are competitive
and not automatic. Unlike our existing tuition assistance
program where the financial award is limited to one-half of
Dickinson’s tuition, the Tuition Exchange minimum award
for 2006-07 is $23,500. Most participating institutions provide
full tuition scholarships. Tuition Exchange participating
schools are required to maintain the required balance between
the number of students it sends out and the number it brings
in.
To apply for a Tuition Exchange scholarship, it is advised that you notify Bernadette
Pham (Dickinson’s Tuition Exchange Liaison Officer) twelve months before your
family member plans to enroll. The Tuition Exchange Application will then be prepared,
authorized, and submitted to the Liaison Officer at all institutions to which you are
applying. If your daughter or son is planning to apply to schools for next fall, please
contact Bernadette immediately so we may review the program in more detail.
If you would like to view the participating institutions,
please check the Tuition
Exchange website. In addition, if you or a family member
have any questions please feel free to contact HR Services. |
