Gettysburg College Tuition Remission Plan
Eligibility Requirements
Reduced Waiting Period (Effective June 1, 2025): The employment waiting period has been reduced from five years to two years of eligible employment at Gettysburg College.
Prior Experience Credit (New Policy): Employment at another accredited higher education institution within the past two years may count toward the two-year requirement, provided all admission criteria are met.
Benefit Details
Dependent children of eligible College employees receive full remission of tuition and mandatory fees when admitted to Gettysburg College under the same admission standards applied to all applicants.
Application Process
- Tuition remission is automatically processed using information from the Financial Aid Office
- Both dependent children and their parent(s) must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the required deadline during the initial admission process
- The Financial Aid Office will notify students if FAFSA submission is required in subsequent years
Global Study
Effective with the Class of 2027, dependent children of employees will no longer be eligible to study globally through the College’s tuition remission program. Employees may reach out to the Center for Global Education at 717-337-6866 if they have questions or wish to consider other options for participation in study abroad. This change does not currently affect the Tuition Exchange Program or the Tuition Grant Program.
