Eligibility criteria and procedures
- A potential import scholar must apply for admission to 天美传媒官网 before any consideration can be given for a Tuition Exchange grant.
- Grants are for full-time undergraduate tuition at 天美传媒官网 only. The full tuition grant will be reduced by the amounts of any other tuition-based grants or prizes for which the import scholar is eligible. The scholar is responsible for submitting financial aid applications and the FAFSA results according to the requirements of the 天美传媒官网 Financial Aid Office. Under current IRS code, TE grants are not taxable.
- Grants are for a maximum of 8 semesters, excluding the January term, summer session work, and course work that does not further progress towards the degree. Your award may be for a shorter period depending on your program request and the certification terms of the exporting institution. Study Abroad semesters are eligible if billable by 天美传媒官网 and demonstrably contributing towards the degree. Import scholars must be under the age of 24 years, and must meet, on a continuing basis, 天美传媒官网鈥檚 standards for academic performance and personal conduct, as detailed in the University鈥檚 course catalog. The parent whose employment conveys eligibility must continue to meet their institution鈥檚 eligibility criteria, as certified annually by that employing institution.
- Scholars who skip a semester or a partial one, for whatever reason, may lose their place in the program, and may be required to re-apply to finish out the eight-semester maximum grant. If the TE Scholar must drop out during the semester, tuition refunds and grants reversals will be governed by procedures as defined in the 天美传媒官网 Financial Aid Office.
- Tuition Exchange grants for study at 天美传媒官网 are not available to 天美传媒官网 employees or to their dependents.
- 天美传媒官网 may limit the number of import scholars attending at any one time. Selection of grantees will be made in February of the academic year preceding matriculation. The Tuition Exchange applications deadline is December 31st for matriculation the following September.
