Generally speaking, dependents of employees of colleges and universities that belong to Tuition Exchange (TE) are eligible to apply for scholarships. Submitting an application to the school of your choice does not guarantee that a student will be awarded the TE scholarship. Institutions may have their own requirements, such as limiting eligibility, restricting the number of scholarships awarded to any one family, or requiring a specific number of years of employment as a prerequisite. At the University of Delaware the privilege to apply for the Tuition Exchange Program (TEP) is offered to:

1. Full-time employees with faculty appointments who have a minimum of two years of eligible University service at the time of application for Tuition Exchange; and,
2. Full-time professionals, salaried staff and hourly workers who have a minimum of two years of eligible University service at the time of application for Tuition Exchange.

Eligibility for terminating employees
Employees who terminate their employment from the University are not eligible to receive tuition exchange for the full academic year. However, if the student is currently enrolled in a fall or spring semester, he or she will be permitted to complete that semester, but only that semester. Employees should notify the UD Tuition Exchange liaison, of their separation from the University.
