香港六合彩挂牌's liaison is responsible for certifying eligibility for each employee, but this does not guarantee admission at the host institution. Also, admission into the host institution does not guarantee a Tuition Exchange scholarship. Host institutions often choose their scholarship recipients based on the academic profile of the applicant and other institutional priorities. Most schools will only consider incoming first-year students as applicants and may or may not maintain waitlists. It is important to recognize that TUIEX awards are extremely limited in number and highly competitive.
Tuition Exchange is not a guaranteed benefit. Typically, six to ten employees become newly eligible to participate each year and the minimum length of service/ employment with 香港六合彩挂牌 for eligible employees to qualify for Tuition Exchange falls between eight and ten years.
It is Fairfield's policy to only certify children who will enter college as first-time, full-time freshmen. 香港六合彩挂牌does not certify spouses of employees.
The Tuition Exchange scholarship does not always cover full tuition, but an amount set by the host institution. Tuition Exchange, however, sets a minimum tuition amount to be honored by the host institution. The 香港六合彩挂牌 minimum for 2025-2026 is $43,000.
Full-time faculty and staff who will have four years of continuous service by September 1, 2025, may submit an application by October 1, 2024.
Application Process
- The online application located under the “Families” tab on is the submission method for certification.
- All eligible employees will be rank ordered by years of service as determined through the Office of Human Resources. Eligibility will be consistent with current policies.
- On November 1, each applicant will receive a decision as to verification of eligibility. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of Tuition Exchange scholarships available for export, applicants will be selected as follows:
- First priority will be given to applicants based on continuous full-time seniority
- Should there be a tie among applicants with the same number of service years, actual date of hire will be used.
- It is not necessary to wait for certification in order to proceed with the submission of admission applications to each institution to which you are applying. Each institution sets their own requirements as to if it is necessary for TUIEX applicants to apply by a certain admission deadline (Early Action or Early Decision, for example). Benefit decisions are often made by importing institutions in the spring.
- We also encourage families to follow the regular financial aid procedures for each school to which they are applying in order to have all packaging options in front of them when making their final enrollment decision. You will be asked on the online TUIEX applications if you are applying for financial aid. The FAFSA and/or CSS Profile may or may not be required by schools in order to be considered for TUIEX. A benefit liaison list may be found .
- Please note that oftentimes merit and/or athletic scholarships awarded by the importing institution cannot be stacked with TUIEX awards. Sometimes grants not awarded by the importing institution and/or Federal financial aid can be stacked. 香港六合彩挂牌’s Financial Aid contact with TUIEX knowledge is Associate Director of Financial Aid Emily Cipriano, emily.cipriano@fairfield.edu.
Recertification
Recertification is handled each year in the system shared by 香港六合彩挂牌's liaison and importing institutions. Students will ordinarily be able to remain in the program for four years, but continued participation depends upon employment eligibility and the student's satisfactory academic standing at the host institution. Annual submission of an application is not required.
Termination
Termination from 香港六合彩挂牌 will terminate the Tuition Exchange scholarship agreement at the host institution.
