This exchange program waives the fall and spring tuition for one dependent who is enrolled on a full-time basis (a minimum of 12 credit hours) in a degree-granting program at DTCC. To be eligible for the program, the student must:
- Meet dependent eligibility requirements: * A spouse must be legally married to the employee at the end of DTCC’s free drop/add period. * A child is defined as a biological or a legally adopted child of the employee or spouse, who will be claimed by the employee as an exemption for federal income tax purposes on the employee's tax return for the tax year in which the benefit is received.
- Apply for, and receive admission to, a degree-granting program at DTCC,
- Be registered full-time in that DTCC program before the Aug. 11 drawing is conducted,
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and
- Apply for, and be found ineligible for, a state of Delaware Student Excellence Equals Degree (SEED) grant. SEED grants are provided by the state and cover tuition for Delaware-resident students. For more information about SEED, please visit www.dtcc.edu/seed/.
To have a dependent’s name included in the Aug. 11 lottery, employees must submit a DTCC Lottery Application no later than Friday, Aug. 7. The application form can be found on the HR Benefits website. Keep in mind that the DTCC Tuition Waiver, if awarded, does count against the UD limit of two full-time tuition benefits per semester per family.
Note that students who received this waiver for 2014-15 and are continuing at DTCC this fall, do not need to participate in this year’s lottery, but they must be registered full-time at DTCC before the Aug. 11 drawing is conducted.
