Full-time employees in a regular position at Drake University are eligible to participate in two tuition exchange programs, which offer waived or discounted tuition at other participating institutions for the employee, a spouse/partner, or eligible dependent(s).
Those wishing to apply for tuition exchange in the 2022-2023 academic year can apply now. Applications are only for students not currently participating in tuition exchange—tuition exchange awards for the 2021-2022 academic year will automatically renew for the 2022-2023 academic year if all renewal requirements are met.
There are 3 steps in the tuition exchange application process:
- Employee submits the tuition exchange application (the student should also apply for admission at the schools listed on the application).
- Drake’s Office of Student Financial Planning will confirm and certify the employee’s eligibility to participate in the tuition exchange program. This is done on a rolling basis as applications are received.
- Each school listed on the application will determine whether they can offer the student a tuition exchange award.
Schools have different application deadlines and timelines for announcing award determinations. It is the employee’s responsibility to submit the tuition exchange application early enough to allow time for step #2 to be completed in advance of each school’s deadlines.
