Tuition Exchange Program
What is Tuition Exchange Program?
Regent University is a member of the Tuition Exchange (TE) Program. The TE program provides the opportunity for eligible faculty and staff or their family members to receive undergraduate (and/or graduate) scholarships at one of the participating member institutions. Over 560 colleges and universities participate in the TE program.
- The TE program is a scholarship program, not a fringe benefit provided by Regent University.
- Only full-time faculty and staff who have completed two or more years of employment with Regent University are eligible to apply for participation in the TE program.
- Certification for the TE program does not guarantee acceptance at a TE member institution or insure a TE scholarship. It is possible that not all of the eligible employee family members interested in seeking Tuition Exchange scholarships will be certified as TE candidates (sponsored) by Regent University.
- TE is a reciprocal program, and we are required to balance the number of individuals sent out on the exchange (exports) by an equal number of imports over the most current five-year period. If it is necessary to limit certification of TE candidates to a subset of eligible applicants, priority will be based on employee's years of service.
Important Application Considerations
- If you or your dependent (based on the IRS definition of dependent) wish to use the TE program, check out the schools listed on TE's website.
- Complete the TE online application.
- Applications must be received no later than October 15 of the year preceding the first academic year to be covered by the scholarship.
- Regent will make commitments to sponsor candidates by the end of October and will move rapidly to send the necessary form to the institutions selected.
- Please be mindful that TE Scholarships are competitive, and certification does not guarantee a scholarship offer.
- Those who have not previously received a TE scholarship will be given first consideration.
