I was told that if your parent is a school administrator that going to college is free? is this true?

Answer 1

Some schools offer free tuition for dependents as a perk.

I know that the University of Toledo does this - one of my good friends in high school wanted to go away to school, but she decided to attend Toledo due to the free tuition. (Her mom was a secretary in one of the academic departments - not even an administrator.)

Answer 2

It depends on the college or university your parent is employed with. Some colleges and universities offer tuition waivers to their faculty and staff and their spouses and dependents. An employee's full-time equivalency or hours they work may determine the amount of the waiver. It may be only a percentage of the tuition or they may limit the amount of credits they will waive the tuition for.

Check with your parent to see if their employer offers such a benefit.

Best wishes!

Answer 3

This varies widely from place to place. In some states, all children of state employees get free tuition at any state college or university in that state. In other cases, there are no benefits at all, even if your parent works at that particular school.

Answer 4

while this has been a 'traditional' perk of being a full time employee at any level of the college or university, it does NOT extend to the children to administrators, teachers, or employees of K-12 schools [with the possible exception of the teaching school run by the University].

Answer 5

If a parent works at the college you choose, then tuition
is free!

Answer 6

I believe it's free if your parent is a school employee, so even the janitor's kids got it free. Of course, it really depends on the college/uni's policies, so it may vary.

Answer 7

If they work at the college then sometimes yes.
