Tuition Exchange
What You Need to Know
The University of Dayton is a member of the Tuition Exchange, a consortium of more than 640 private and public not-for-profit colleges and universities, representing 47 states, the District of Columbia, and several other countries that provide tuition assistance to dependents of individuals who work at participating schools.
Dependents of UD Faculty/Staff
Scholarships cover either full tuition, one-half tuition for a non-resident at a public institution, or a rate set by Tuition Exchange. They do not cover special fees, course overloads, or room and board. For 2024-2025, private institutions that charge more than $42,000 for tuition are permitted to award less than their full tuition, but not less than the set rate of $42,000.
Please visit the Tuition Exchange section in the Employee Handbook for additional information.
Tuition Exchange Scholarships are not guaranteed, nor is admission at member institutions. Since Tuition Exchange requests that each institution maintain a balance between dependents from the home institution and students coming from other institutions, it is likely that there will be a limited number of slots available. Since the University of Dayton may not be able to accommodate all requests, the Tuition Exchange Program should not be considered as a guaranteed award.
Questions concerning the Tuition Exchange Program should be directed to the UD Tuition Exchange Liaison, Beth Schwartz, at 937-229-2538 or bschwartz1@udayton.edu.
Questions concerning employee eligibility should be directed to Human Resources at 937-229-2541.
Dependents of Faculty/Staff from Other Tuition Exchange Member Institutions
The Tuition Exchange Program is very competitive at the University of Dayton. Since Tuition Exchange requests that each institution maintain a balance between dependents from the home institution and students coming from other institutions, there will only be a limited number of slots available. Each year we receive more than 100 applications for approximately 10-12 offers. There is no waiting list. Grade point average, a campus visit, financial need based on the FAFSA, and service to the community are all considered when making Tuition Exchange offers.
Tuition Exchange Scholarships are available only to first year applicants and are awarded at the rate of $42,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year. Priority consideration will be given to those that apply for admission and by November 1 and file the FAFSA when it becomes available in December.
These scholarships cannot be used in combination with any other scholarship or grant offered by the University of Dayton. Families are encouraged to complete the FAFSA for federal loan and federal grant eligibility in December so that we can provide a complete overview of your financial aid awards.
Tuition Exchange Scholarships cover four years or eight semesters of undergraduate education. Students must remain in good academic and disciplinary standing as defined in the Student Handbook.
Students will be notified by the end of February if they have been selected for a Tuition Exchange Scholarship. To accept or decline this offer, please notify us by May 1.
Questions regarding UD’s Tuition Exchange Program should be directed to the Tuition Exchange Liaison, Jenni Crotty, at 937-229-4313 or jcrotty@udayton.edu.
