The tuition waiver scholarship is available to eligible employees’ dependent children at member institutions and employee eligibility is defined by the employee’s institution. A dependent child, according to IRS guidelines, with at least one parent employed at a participating institution will be eligible for a tuition waiver scholarship. Please note that although the employee’s dependent child may be eligible for the tuition waiver scholarship, the “host institution”, or school where the student applies, does not have to accept the dependent student into their tuition waiver program. Unfortunately, this means that dependent children are not guaranteed to receive a scholarship from their school of choice.

   parent/employee by July 1 of the school year for renewal.

Exports

The tuition waiver scholarship is available to eligible AU employees’ dependent children. Please note that although the employee’s child may be eligible for the tuition waiver scholarship from Anderson University-IN, the “host institution”, or school where the student applies, does not have to accept the dependent student into their tuition waiver program. Unfortunately, this means that dependent children of Anderson University employees are not guaranteed to receive a scholarship from their school of choice.

Selection Criteria:

• Must be a traditional, first-year undergraduate full-time student.
• Must be a dependent child, according to IRS guidelines, of an Anderson University employee and the dependent child wants to attend an institution other than Anderson University.
• Each institution determines its own procedure and criteria for selecting import applicants. Most institutions select applicants on a first-come/first-serve basis, academic merit, financial need, or a combination of the three.

Application Process:

Step 1: Qualified students should select importing institution(s) that they desire to attend.

Step 2: Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the date designated by the importing institution.

Step 3: Complete the application for admission to each institution they want to attend.

Step 4: Submit their high school transcript to each institution they want to attend.

Step 5: Submit the tuition waiver application(s) for each of their institution choices by the filing deadline specified by the importing institution.

Financial Aid Process:

• Notification of approved tuition waiver will be made by the importing institution, not Anderson University-IN. The student should check the importing institution’s website for the notification deadline for the tuition waiver benefit.
• Anderson University-IN has no say in whether a student is approved or is not granted a tuition waiver scholarship.

Renewal Process:

• It is the responsibility of the student and the home (exporting) institution to provide the tuition waiver form to
  the importing institution for renewal each year. The form should be marked for renewal and the academic
  year of the renewal.
• One parent must still be a continuous full-time, benefit status employee at a participating tuition waiver
  institution. The home (exporting) institution must provide documentation of employment for said
  parent/employee.
• Tuition waiver applicants must comply with all of the importing institution’s financial aid policies and procedures.
• Tuition waiver applicants must comply with all of the importing institution’s good academic and satisfactory
  academic progress.
• Each year, the student should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 15.

Important Information:

• The tuition waiver benefit covers the full cost of tuition. Students are responsible for all non-tuition charges— room, board, and fees—at the institution in which they enroll.
• While students usually receive the benefit for four years, it is not guaranteed. The student must continue to meet the college’s academic standards, both institutions must remain participants in the program, and the employee must continue to meet the eligibility requirements of the benefit. Students in good standing are automatically eligible for up to three years of annual renewal of tuition remission (for a total benefit of four years or eight semesters).
