Tuition Assistance & Reimbursement

We offer a variety of educational opportunites for current employees.

Dependent Tuition Remission

Full‐time employees who have been employed continuously for at least seven years at Holy Cross (or have prior employment from a qualified institution) are eligible for the tuition benefit for their dependent children who are matriculated, degree‐seeking students at Holy Cross. Students must meet the admissions requirements for acceptance to the College.

Students must be formally admitted, enrolled full time and maintain good standing at Holy Cross. (Upon submitting an application, prospective students are advised to alert the admissions department of their child/dependent-of-a-Holy Cross-employee status and that they may be eligible for the dependent tuition remission benefit.) The tuition benefit is available for a maximum of eight semesters. The benefit covers the cost of tuition, but it does not cover the cost of housing, books and other fees.

Faculty and Staff Children Exchange Program (FACHEX)

FACHEX is an acronym for the Faculty and Staff Children Exchange Program. It is an undergraduate tuition remission program for the children of full-time faculty, administration and staff of the participating institutions. It permits dependents eligible for tuition remission at their home institution (parent's employer) to be considered for a scholarship at one of the 26 participating Jesuit institutions. Each institution is responsible for determining admission and scholarship decisions, and neither admission nor receipt of a FACHEX scholarship is guaranteed.
