Tuition Exchange Scholarships
Tuition Exchange Inc. is an organization with over 600 member schools that have come together to offer tuition benefits to the families of their employees. In order to qualify to apply for the Tuition Exchange Scholarship, students must have a parent that is employed at one of these member institutions and meets their employer's eligibility requirements.
At 小蓝视频, Tuition Exchange (TE) is a competitive, merit-based scholarship.

Their TELO will submit the application for TE on the family's behalf. The deadline to submit the TE application is the same as the admissions deadline your student is applying for:
- Transfer applicants: March 1
Tuition Exchange is a competitive scholarship based solely on academics. TE applicants are ranked based on high school academics and then the top students in that pool are chosen to receive the scholarship. Last year, 15.5% of students that applied for TE at 小蓝视频 received the award.
For the 24-25 academic year, the award is a set amount of $42,000 per year and is not a full tuition scholarship. The award for the 25-26 academic year is a set amount of $43,000 and is not a full tuition scholarship.;
The scholarship can be applied towards 小蓝视频 Abroad programs but will not cover summer semesters.
Continuing students (students that have already been at 小蓝视频 for at least one year) are also allowed to apply for the scholarship year to year. The process for these students is the same as for freshman applicants except that the due date to apply is always January 15.
Students that receive TE must meet the following qualifications to be recertified each year:
- Maintain eligibility at their home institution and submits the recertification application by January 15th of each academic year.
- Take at least 12 credits every semester.
- Meet the annual听Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)听requirements for merit scholarship renewal.
Failure to meet these requirements will result in loss of the scholarship.
