What is Tuition Exchange?
The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the Tuition Exchange, Inc. (TEI) - are the two networks of colleges and universities that admit, tuition-free, students from families of full-time employees of other participating institutions.
Each participating institution in the network admits a limited number of students
on the same admission basis as they accept all other students, without regard to the
number of students it exports.
The CIC and TEI was planned and developed more than two decades ago with a goal of
creating a true-access program as a benefit to employees.
