Tuition Exchange

If you are a tuition exchange import, you're a student from another school looking to attend Stetson University through one of the tuition exchange programs.

On the other hand, if you are a tuition exchange export, you're the dependent of a Stetson University faculty or staff member who is trying to get into one of the other schools that are part of the tuition exchange program.

For an up-to-date list of participating institutions, you can visit the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and Tuition Exchange Program (TEP) websites.

You should first complete Stetson University's Preliminary Application by November 1 to find out if you are eligible for the tuition exchange benefit. Once your application is approved by the Office of Student Financial Aid, follow the steps below depending on which program you are applying to (CIC or TEP).

The schools you are applying to will notify your family once they have made a decision about the Tuition Exchange Scholarship. This usually happens in the spring semester. By April 1, make sure to let Stetson University's Tuition Exchange Liaison know in writing whether you are accepting or rejecting the Tuition Exchange Scholarship and which school you will be attending.

Preliminary Application

The preliminary application deadline is November 1. You should turn in your pre-certification application as soon as possible so that your eligibility can be determined. Be sure to complete your admissions applications to the schools you're applying to in a timely manner to give yourself the best chance at receiving a Tuition Exchange Scholarship.

You can find detailed guidelines, requirements and FAQs on the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) website.

Once the Office of Student Financial Aid confirms you're eligible to export, you and your parent will need to complete an online CIC application.

The importing liaison at the school you are applying to will get an automatic email with your application details. They will decide whether to approve or deny your application and let you know.

Afterward, the importing liaison will update the status of your application in the CIC-TEP Online Portal, which can be seen by Stetson University's exporting liaison.

Once the Office of Student Financial Aid confirms your eligibility, you can go ahead and submit the online TE-EZ application. When you fill out the application, make sure to enter valid email addresses for both you and your parent. You can choose up to 10 schools on the application.

After submitting your application, Stetson University's exporting liaison will be notified.

If Stetson University confirms your export eligibility, your EZ application will be sent to the chosen schools you listed. If your application is not eligible, both you and your parent will be informed, and the application will not be forwarded to the chosen schools.

At this point, the schools you applied to will handle the rest of the process.

Starting in the 2023-2024 academic year, the TEP Tuition Exchange scholarship at Stetson University is available to you at $41,000. This amount includes other types of financial aid, like the Pell Grant, Florida Bright Futures, the Florida EASE Grant, and more. In addition to the Tuition Exchange Scholarship, you can also receive federal student loans and private loans if needed.
