Tuition Assistance for Your Family	Print Issue
,

Tuition assistance is one of the many perks of working at Penn. But faculty and staff aren’t the only ones who can get an education for an affordable price. Your entire family can take advantage of the University’s tuition benefit to pursue their academic goals.

Eligible dependent children can receive tuition assistance for courses at Penn or other accredited institutions, and it is usually tax-free. The tuition benefit covers 75% of your child’s technology and tuition fees at Penn. You can also take advantage of the Direct Grant program which helps subsidize the cost of your child’s education at accredited schools other than Penn. Penn covers the school’s tuition charge per term, or the equivalent of 40% of the tuition cost for one full-time semester at Penn (whichever is less). 

Your spouse or domestic partner can also cash in on the value of Penn’s tuition benefit. Generally, the University covers 50% of the tuition and technology fees for eight semesters toward an undergraduate degree at Penn.

Keep in mind the tuition benefit for both children and spouses/domestic partners applies to undergraduate degree programs only. For more information, visit the HR website at www.hr.upenn.edu/myhr/benefits/tuition (PennKey required).
