| DEPENDENT
STUDENTS OF SU EMPLOYEES |
| Syracuse University is a member of The Tuition Exchange, Inc. This program provides the opportunity for dependents of our faculty and staff to apply for competitive scholarships to other member institutions – over 580 colleges and universities. |
| Eligibility |
| Eligibility
to participate in the Tuition Exchange program is determined by Syracuse
University’s Office
of Human Resources. Students must meet all academic and admission
requirements and expect to/or already be matriculated in a program
of study leading to their first baccalaureate degree. Eligible dependents
are sponsored for a maximum of four years (8 semesters or 12 quarters)
of full-time undergraduate study. Summer sessions are excluded from
this scholarship. Dependent eligibility offers your dependent(s) the opportunity to apply for the scholarship. Each individual institution determines their admission criteria, the number of scholarships offered and the timeline for their process. |
| We encourage students to contact the Tuition Exchange Liaison Officer of prospective colleges for deadlines and criteria used in awarding these competitive scholarships. For a list of liaison names, please call 315-443-1513 to speak with the Scholarship Office, or email scholar@syr.edu. |
| Coverage and Requirements |
The dollar amount of the scholarship is determined by the tuition charged by each individual institution. Most scholarships cover full tuition. There is a minimum amount set by the Tuition Exchange, Inc., ($26,800 in 2008-2009). Schools with tuition rates higher than this amount may opt to award only the minimum. Student fees, course fees, books, course overloads, and room and board are not covered by the scholarship. Full-time enrollment is required by all institutions. Some schools may request all or one of the following: |
|
| Starting the Process |
1.
You and your student should review the list of Tuition Exchange
schools available at the Tuition
Exchange, Inc. |
|
| 4. Begin the application process for each school. |
| Application Information |
| There
are three separate steps to apply for the Tuition Exchange Scholarship.
Please note: Completion of any of these steps does not guarantee a scholarship to the school of your choice. Click to view a diagram of the steps that are listed below. |
1.
Visit the Syracuse University Office
of Human Resources web site to find more information and the
forms for Dependent Benefit eligibility. Contact: Office of Human
Resources, 443-4042. |
| 2.
Apply for admission to the school(s) of choice AND
the Tuition Exchange Scholarship at the same time (usually late fall
of the dependent’s senior year of high school). Filing for Tuition
Exchange Scholarship eligibility before applying
for admission is encouraged. Please note: Admissions Application
Deadlines vary from institution to institution. 3. Upon dependent eligibility certification, the Office of Human Resources files the Tuition Exchange Scholarship Application(s) with the Office of Scholarship Programs. Scholarship Programs will then submit the Tuition Exchange Applications to the requested schools and the families are notified via an email or letter that their applications were submitted. |
|
|
| Notification of Scholarship |
| Notification of scholarship varies from institution to institution. Many schools notify students shortly after admission and others wait until April 1. You should contact the individual school to determine their notification schedule. |
| Notification and Acceptance of a Tuition Exchange Scholarship |
| Your student will be notified of admission and/or a Tuition Exchange scholarship directly from the awarding institution. The student must accept or reject the offer within the guidelines and deadlines of that institution. We strongly encourage your student to contact every school they applied to as soon as he/she decides which school to accept admission to, especially if your student is awarded a Tuition Exchange Scholarship at more than one school. Many schools are limited in the number of scholarships they are able to award and your notification to them could be very important to another student. If you have questions, please contact Judy Minns, 443-2593, scholar@syr.edu. |
| Renewing a Tuition Exchange Scholarship |
| Eligible dependent(s) must be re-certified each year by Syracuse University’s Office of Human Resources. Visit the HR web site to download the Dependent Benefit Application, and submit your completed Dependent Benefit application and required documentation to Winnie Pitzeruse, Office of Human Resources, Skytop Office Building. |
