We did this exact thing. My husband worked on a grant at a college in a nearby state. Job came up at a TE school and he took it. I have S19, D20 and D22 so time will tell if it was worth it. Hubby was a stay at home dad for about 8 years so we had already forgone his higher earning potential. I also work at a state college but our tuition benefit is limited, very limited. We are still early in the cycle so time will tell if he received the benefit at all of the schools in which he applied (and if he gets in) He already has one at full tuition but had previously received $27k in merit. Not sure how that will, or more likely won’t, stack. Some of the popular schools are almost impossible to get the benefit. BU, Tulane, and UPitt come to mind.
