Eligibility<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Both the employee and student must meet certain eligibility requirements to utilize the tuition benefit. Review the policy in the Staff Handbook<\/a> (criteria applies to both Staff and Faculty).<\/p>\n

Benefit Amount and Duration<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The tuition benefit amount and duration are based on the employee’s FTE grouping. Room and Board is always an additional cost and is not used to determine the amount of the tuition benefit. Families will not be informed of the actual tuition benefit amount until the student has completed the application for the college, the\u00a0Tuition Benefit Application<\/a>, and has been accepted to the college.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the benefit amount (or percent of tuition) provided by the programs?\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n <\/button>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The ELCA tuition benefit program has a benefit amount of 80% of tuition for dependents of full-time employees (.75 \u2013 1.-0 FTE). The ACM and GLCA tuition benefit programs have a benefit amount of 90% of tuition for dependents of full-time employees (.75 \u2013 1.-0 FTE). The remaining 10\u201320% of tuition plus housing and meal plan costs are the responsibility of the family. We encourage families to complete the FAFSA. Many students can qualify for student loans to be used toward the family responsibility. The St. Olaf Tuition benefit is 90%. <\/span>
