Tuition Grant Program

Tuition Grants to Other Accredited Institutions

Eligibility: Natural or legally adopted children, never married and begin receiving the benefit before age 25, of tenured faculty members, faculty members with a second non-tenurable long-term renewable appointment and Deans/VPs.
 
Benefit: Tuition grants will be remitted at any other accredited college or university in the United States, up to the amount of Rhodes tuition. It is assumed, under this policy, that each student will make every appropriate effort to take advantage of scholarships offered by the other institutions or by any other agency.

Tuition payment for part-time enrollment and/or for part of an academic year will be limited to the pro rata annual tuition of the college or university attended, and will not exceed the pro rata portion of the then current annual Rhodes tuition.
 
Some institutions have general, non-refundable fees that are required of all students. To the extent that such fees at a particular institution cover some of the same services that are included at Rhodes under Rhodes' comprehensive tuition, then such fees will be construed as a part of that institution's tuition.

Rhodes will pay toward the student's total bill an amount equal to the smaller of the then current Rhodes tuition and the then current tuition at the college or university the student is attending, unless the grand total of the Rhodes payment plus other grants and scholarships the student receives shall exceed the total of tuition, room, board, and mandatory fees required of every student, as stated in the then current catalogue of the institution attended. If the grand total does exceed the stated institutional total described above, the Rhodes payment shall be reduced by the amount by which the grand total exceeds the stated institutional total described above.
 
Maximum Benefit: There shall be a limitation of four academic years (or the equivalent thereof) of pre-baccalaureate study for each eligible child of a tenured faculty member. Enrollment for more than four academic years and/or after the receipt of a baccalaureate degree will not qualify for tuition grants.

Under I.R.S. Code Section 117 (Scholarship and Fellowship Grants), tuition payments will be exempt from tax only if both institutions receiving the payments have a reciprocal agreement.
