Tuition Remission & Tuition Exchange
Tuition Remission
George Fox offers incredible undergraduate and graduate tuition benefits to eligible employees and their spouse, as well as an undergraduate and tuition exchange program for dependent children.
Purpose
The primary purpose of the university’s tuition remission benefit is to assist regular, eligible employees in meeting the educational costs of college for themselves or their immediate family members. Primary consideration is given to obtaining a bachelor’s degree, although a more limited benefit is available for graduate programs as well.
Policy
To learn about the program’s policy, visit this Tuition Remission section of the Employee Handbook.

Tuition Exchange
Where the tuition remission program is a benefit pertaining to enrollment at George Fox, the tuition exchange program provides employees the opportunity to apply, on behalf of their undergraduate dependent child, for tuition benefits at other higher education institutions.
The opening of the application period for tuition exchange will be announced every fall by the Office of Academic Affairs for awards available the next academic year. More information is available by contacting the academic affairs office at aao@georgefox.edu.
