Starting a thread for those of us who will have kids entering college in 2027.

Thanks for starting this! Brand new to TE (my college wasn’t in TE when older daughter applied). For those who have been through this before are there any late spring/early summer deadlines we should be aware of. Do I need to let my own HR know we will be applying?

The deadlines are specific to the college the student is applying to. To be on the safe side, assume the Tuition Exchange Scholarship Application is due the same time as the Admissions Application. Some schools have a later deadline separate from the Admissions deadline, but many schools have deadlines the same time as the admissions deadline.

I saw on the Tuition Exchange FAQ that they put out a list May 1st of schools that still have scholarships available***. Does anyone know how to find past May 1st lists of schools that have TEs available? ***
Tuition Exchange Scholarships seem pretty competitive at most schools (10% and 3% at the schools on my childs list so far) so I thought it would be helpful look at past lists of schools whom had availability as of May 1st to identify ones that might have higher TE acceptance rates. I can’t seem to find it in a simple google search. Anyone know where this historic data might be?

Have you tried reaching out to TE itself? They might be able to provide the lists from the last several years.

You should reach out the TE liaison at your college - s/he will have the info on the exporting process that is specific to your school. Where I work, we had to notify HR in September if we intended to apply for TE anywhere, so they could certify us first.

We have an older sibling on TE now. For my current HS Junior, he plans to apply to Colleges as soon as apps open this summer (July 1 or August 1 for most colleges). All of his visits/tours and open houses were done Junior year so he now has about 10 schools on his list. I will then submit TE information to our home institution HR department and TELO shortly after. It has been our experience, the earlier the better for all things college-search.

I have seen some of them noted in other TE threads for past years. If you scroll to the posts from May you should be able to find partial lists.
