what college/univ give kids a tuition break if a parent works there?

[jillily]

Providence College does.

 

[scrapquitler]

My friend used to work for Yale, and at that time if you worked there for 10 years, your kids got something like $7500 annually off their tuition at any of the colleges on 'the list' which had a couple hundred colleges on it. That was like 10'years ago, it might be different now

That's tax law. If your university isn't taxing that benefit, you should be claiming it on your taxes. It isn't the university's choice to tax or not tax. If you are receiving "economic benefit" its a taxable event.

The links I posted had some information about why some are not taxable. One test is if there are special concessions for officers of the university. If yes, it becomes taxable. If the same benefit is available to all employees it may not be.

Ohio University (Athens, Ohio) does. My friend works there, and her kids went either free or very, very cheap. That was her main reason for looking for a job there, she had four children.

 

[BubMunkeyBles]

University of Tampa (my uncle works there and I know his kids all get a great deal).

My Dad did at University of South Florida with his Tenure agreement, but not at Florida State University when he transferred schools.

Part of me is starting to consider trying to move out of state now. I liked DH's job until I found out how many schools are offering this.

[Allison]

Just to clarify, that is not a comprehensive list of schools that offer a tuition benefit but a list of schools in the specific association referenced.

 

[MineMail]

From one of the links I posted:

Complete list of participating institutions.

<snip>

That is the online Tuition Exchange program list. That program allows eligible employees' children to receive a partial/full tuition scholarship to another institution. It's not guaranteed since there are several requirements to be met. Additionally, not all staff is eligible - the rules vary from school to school. Most colleges that participate in the TE require some term of service from the employee before the student would be eligible; it's not an immediate benefit.

You have to check with each school's financial aid department to see if they are still participating and have openings. Colleges do limit how many TE students they are willing to accept.
Note that the poster just copied it off the website; I know that the online list can sometimes be out of date, so always verify.

Just to clarify: that is not a list of colleges that offer free tuition for employees' children.

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Cornell, Columbia, NYU

 

[KCMiller]

At The Ohio State University, employees can enroll in classes (undergraduate AND graduate) tuition free, and spouses and dependants go for half tuition (75% if both parents are employees). And I am VERY proud to say that this benefit extends to same-sex domestic partners and their dependant children, as well (as do all benefits at OSU).

[DopeyDame]

Im actually shocked (and a little appalled) that there are schools that don't offer tuition benefits. I know Johns Hopkins and notre Dame do.
Even the little community college where I teach offers it for full time staff.

I think it is wonderful that so many do, but I don't find it appalling that some do not. It is a fabulous benefit, to be sure. But it is an expensive one. There really is no other industry that I can think of where employees get their product free for their children.

Sometimes that's the case for the free tuition. It may not apply to every employee, it may only be academic tenured staff, for instance. It may not be free, but a reduction. You may need to have been with the school a number of years to qualify. And, of course, your kids need to get in, which isnt easy at some of the schools mentioned.

 

[js]

Not many public colleges offer tuition benefits for children of employees. Rutgers is progressive, offering tuition remission for employee dependants.

Many private colleges do offer free/reduced tuition at their college; some on the first day of work, others after several years of service. For example, Duke requires five years of employment before the dependants are eligible for free tuition. All require that the student meet the published admission criteria; there is no preferential treatment.

It is considered a taxable benefit, so the employee will have to pay more income tax.

Wagner College.
My children could go there for free or get the Tuition Exchange for over 500 schools if they qualify. My dd got the tuition exchange plus half off her dorm for Muhlenberg but it does not cover the full cost, but most. I am so lucky I work there! I left working part time in NYC to full time less pay at Wagner for the bennefits.
