Illinois Institute of Technology holds a lottery each fall for Tuition Exchange scholarships. The number of scholarships will be based on the number of students from the Tuition Exchange program from other participating institutions who enroll at Illinois Tech each year. Faculty and staff may apply for a scholarship for an eligible dependent as long as they meet the criteria below. To be considered a candidate for a tuition exchange scholarship through Illinois Tech, the family member must be an eligible dependent of an eligible employee at Illinois Tech.

Illinois Institute of Technology is a member of the Tuition Exchange, a nonprofit organization of more than 600 colleges and universities that agree to a reciprocal scholarship program. Visit www.tuitionexchange.org for a listing of participating schools and more details about how the exchange works.

Eligible Employees

Any full-time faculty or staff member in good employment standing and meeting the minimum of two years of full time employment at Illinois Tech by January 1 of the year for which the dependent is a candidate (for the 2021-2022 academic year, hire date must be January 1, 2019, or earlier).

Eligible Dependents

Any born or adopted child of an eligible Illinois Tech employee. The child must be a dependent as defined by the IRS. (Appropriate proof may be requested).
