NeighborHOOD Partners

PLEASE NOTE: Completed NeighborHOOD forms MUST be received no later than the current semester's registration add/drop deadline. Late applications will not be accepted.

The NeighborHOOD Partners Program provides the following benefits to full-time employees of partner organizations, their spouses and their dependents*:

• Tuition discount for degree-seeking students in graduate and undergraduate programs.
• Annual tuition discount of up to $15,000 for undergraduate and up to $1,000 for graduate students. For graduate students, this means up to $500 tuition discount available in the fall, and up to $500 tuition discount available in the spring.
• Students must be enrolled for both fall and spring semesters. Undergraduates must be full-time.
• Undergraduate students who also qualify for academic merit scholarships will receive the larger of the awards (merit scholarship or NeighborHOOD Partners discount) but not both.
• The graduate discount is not available for the doctoral program.
• The discount is not stackable with any other institutional scholarships or awards. It may be received in combination with need-based financial aid.
• For students with employer-funded educational benefits, the discount is "last dollar in" with the total received not to exceed the tuition charged.
• Employee eligibility must be verified by the partner's HR office each semester the student is enrolled.
• Additional fees (i.e. semester comprehensive fees) are included in the Neighborhood agreement.

* Available to employees once they have exceeded their employer's annual education benefits. For purpose of this partnership, a dependent child is one who will be claimed by the employee as an income tax exemption in each of the years in the partnership.
