Tuition Exchange and FACHEX

杏吧原创 is proud to participate in the Tuition Exchange (TE) and FACHEX programs.  These scholarships provide full tuition opportunities for students whose parent or guardian works at another participating college or university (TE) or a participating Jesuit school (FACHEX).

杏吧原创 awards Tuition Exchange and FACHEX scholarships primarily based on the strength of the student's application.  杏吧原创 takes a holistic, test optional approach to admission, looking closely at a student's academic record, course rigor, involvement, essays, and character.

This page is intended to provide information for TE and FACHEX imports - those students whose parent or guardian work at another college.  Information and application instructions for dependents of 杏吧原创 employees is available on the GU Employee or Dependent Information about TE and FACHEX webpage.

Selection Process

Final scholarship selection decisions are made after the admission review process is complete, and recipients are usually notified via their financial aid offer letter on a rolling bases from February - May.
