Do children of university faculty get free tuition at that university?

Question

One of my parents works at the university in my city. It's one of my last resort choices because I prefer Ivy League or at least a step down (Northwestern, Columbia). How are some ways to get scholarships other than academic scholarships? What type of scholarships are widely open?

I'm good at tennis, and I will try to get a sports scholarship.

Answer 1

It depends on the individual school if they offer free tuition or a scholarship to children of parents who work there. The best thing is for them to check with the human resources office or department for more information. However, if you plan on trying to try for a tennis scholarship, you need to register for the NCAA database now because it is required.

Answer 2

Two of the universities in my area (St. Louis, MO) do. Tell your parents to check.

If you have high academic grades or ACT, SAT scores or both, you may be able to get an academic scholarship.

Other than that, if you have a minority ethnic group in your family you may have enough ancestry to get a scholarship.

As well, sports can be a way to get a scholarship. Are you good at sports?

Answer 3

It's only a guarantee that you'll get in. Go to a really big library, there's a whole section devoted to scholarships, grants. There's one for every type of person, be ye eskimo with parents in the military, or baptist with no parents whatsoever.

Answer 4

You should have your parents check their employee benefits documents. It varies my university - from discounted tuition to free tuition.

Answer 5

Probably depends on each school's policy. I know of one here that doesn't extend that benefit to their faculty.

Answer 6

no
