Tuition Exchange (TE) was chartered in 1954 as a nonprofit corporation that promotes and monitors exchange scholarships for faculty and staff dependents at participating colleges and universities. Over 600 colleges and universities from 47 states, the District of Columbia, and other countries participate in the TE program.

The Tuition Exchange Program allows eligible dependents to receive undergraduate scholarships at one of the member institutions (hereafter referred to as the host institution). The TE Program is a scholarship, not a fringe benefit provided by the American University of Nigeria.

Acceptance into the TE Program will be for first baccalaureate degrees only. Participants for graduate study, non-degree studies, or second undergraduate degrees will not be considered. Participation in the program will generally be for four successive years of education (12 quarters, eight semesters, or the equivalent) as long as the student is enrolled and in good academic standing at the host institution. Any eligible dependent not currently utilizing the TE Program is eligible to apply at any point during their undergraduate studies for the upcoming fall term.

• Applicants must be full-time employees and must have completed at least one year of service at the American University of Nigeria.
• Applicants shall be responsible for the non-tuition expenses depending on the institution of choice for the duration of the course.
• Should an applicant leave the services of the University prior to the completion of his/her child’s TE program, the tuition exchange opportunity will terminate.
• The Tuition Exchange shall only be accessed by employees once in five (5) years while in employment with the American University of Nigeria.
• The minimum age limit for an applicant’s dependent must NOT be below eighteen (18) years.
• If an applicant dies or retires before the completion of his dependent child education through TE, the child will be permitted to remain in the program.
• Applicants must be in good standing with the University with no unresolved disciplinary issues i.e. Such an applicant must be free from any administrative misconduct for which he may have been disciplined within the year of the scholarship award.
• The applicant’s dependent must meet the academic and admission requirement of the participating institution where the tuition exchange is sought.

However, please note that certification of eligibility does not guarantee acceptance at the host institution or assure acceptance into the TE Program.
