Did your dependent receive the Dependent Education Scholarship in the Spring? If you'd like to continue for the Fall, please remember to reapply, as this scholarship doesn’t automatically renew. For the best chance at timely approval, make sure to get your application in by June 30. Applications after that date will still be processed, but approval and awards for eligible dependents may be delayed.
For those enrolled in the Nursing Program, the due date for Summer 2026 applications is May 31.
Visit the Benefits & Employee Wellness Dependent Education webpage to fill out the online application. Once you submit your online application, you will receive confirmation with additional information. Remember to check your clutter and junk boxes!
The Dependent Education Program provides the following tuition waiver for your qualified dependents:
Dependent Education does not cover mandatory student fees, course fees, or tuition differentials.
See UAP #3700 Section 4 for details on employee and dependent eligibility criteria, coverage limitations, and IRS required taxation.
