The University of Delaware Office of Human Resources is now accepting applications for the 2017-18 Tuition Waiver Exchange Program lottery with Delaware Technical Community College.

Employees who are full-time and benefit eligible may enter for a chance to have one of their dependents participate in the program.

This exchange program waives the fall and spring tuition for one dependent that is enrolled on a full-time basis (a minimum of 12 credit hours) in a degree-granting program at Delaware Tech. 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 Delaware Tech’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 Delaware Tech.

• Be registered full-time in that Delaware Tech program before the Aug. 8 drawing is conducted,

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

• 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, visit this website.

The deadline for submission for a Delaware Tech lottery application is Friday, Aug. 4. The application form can be found at this page on the HR Benefits website.

Current recipients need not participate in the lottery, if continuing.
