Tuition Exchange for Fall 2026 (Class of 2030)

Parents Forum

I’m just curious if a new thread for tuition exchange has been created for this new year like past years and if someone has started a similar excel sheet? I know it is a bit early.

I think you just started the thread, so thanks! I am clumsy with online forums and spreadsheets so won’t be much help with the conversation but wanted to reply to keep the topic visible. I look forward to seeing what everyone shares. We are in Illinois, and my son will be applying to five or six TE schools and a few non-TE schools. My older son (class of 2021) got the TE scholarship at Marquette and graduated last spring. It was a great experience for him and I still can’t believe our luck that he got a great college education and we paid zero for tuition. (Marquette is one of the fairly small number of TE schools that give full tuition.)

Thanks for the update. I’m pretty good with spreadsheets so may give it a go in the near future.

Thanks for starting! We’ll be applying this year. Would love to hear experiences along the way.

Thanks for starting the thread and posting. My oldest is applying this year, so this is our first experience with TE and FACHEX. There is a lot more to the process than it seemed when I initially learned about the benefit, so I’m glad there’s a place to share information.

Thought I would add a link to the google spreadsheet for previous year, in case others want to use it to start a new tab for class of 2026 (college class of 2030).

Hi everyone! My last child is currently a sophomore attending on TE and I know how stressful this process can be and I also know how helpful this group and the spreadsheet was to us when we were going through it.

I cleaned up the spreadsheet for the 2026 grads (Class of 2030). It sure was a MESS! Another parent created it and I had worked on it in 2024 and I think people accidentally move things around and type where they shouldn’t. I locked the fields that should not be edited with a warning so hopefully that will stop it from happening. In the past schools were added as they were needed, but for this go around every school that is on the tuition exchange program is listed on this spreadsheet so there shouldn’t be a need to add any. If you run into any issues feel free to tag or message me and I will help with what I can.

This is great! Thanks for setting up the next class. We just submitted our last application. 14 schools - fingers crossed!
