Tuition Exchange (TE)

The Tuition Exchange (TE) provides a reciprocal scholarship exchange program for family members of full-time faculty and staff among its members of over 600 colleges and universities located in the U.S. and occasionally overseas. 

The primary obligation of a member institution (AUS) is to maintain a balanced exchange pattern, a reasonable match between student “exports” and student “imports”. AUS may import as many students as it wishes but may not export more than it imports. 

All students must apply for admission directly to the institution they wish to attend which determines admission procedures. The admissions process is completely separate from the process for awarding Tuition Exchange scholarships. AUS does not have ultimate control over the award of Tuition Exchange scholarships. The deadline to apply is October 30, 2014.

Final decisions are made by the targeted universities – AUS can only nominate faculty and staff dependents for these scholarships, and then track the status of the applications until a decision is finally made by the target universities. 

Students who are currently enrolled at AUS and who seek to transfer to another institution after receiving a Tuition Exchange scholarship must ensure that they are able to fully complete the last semester at AUS, including completion of all final exams as per the schedule published by the Office of the Registrar.
