Tuition Benefit

Lowering the cost of education for you and your family

You (and your qualifying family members) can expand your education at any Indiana University campus at a reduced cost if you are:

  • A full-time academic or staff employee (including IU residents)
  • A former employee with IU retiree status
  • A disabled former full-time academic or staff employees (including IU residents) receiving long-term disability benefits from a university-sponsored plan, Social Security Administration, or PERF

To be eligible, one of the above must be your status by the end of the first week of classes (or at the time of registration for IUHS courses).

Whitney Alderson

Thanks to my mother’s employment at IU, I was able to take advantage of the IU tuition benefit for dependents. This support helped ease the financial burden of college, making it more accessible and allowing me to graduate with fewer student loans. I’m incredibly grateful for a benefit that invests in the education of employees and their families.

Tuition benefit deadlines

Once enrolled, we encourage you to apply for the tuition benefit as soon as possible. Deadlines for each semester/term are listed below. Applications may, however, be submitted in advance for up to a full academic year.

After these deadlines, no subsidy will be applied and the student will be responsible for their entire bursar bill for that semester/term.

Still need more information?

IUHS is accredited through the North Central Association and accepted for college admission by Indiana University and Big Ten schools, as well as many other universities nationally

Questions about IUHS program information, tuition charges, billing, and the waiver should be directed to IUHS.

ACP courses are administered from the IU Bloomington, East, Kokomo, Northwest, South Bend and Southeast campuses. On the application, use the name of the campus where the student will be registered.

If you’re unsure which campus to select, you can search for your high school’s corresponding campus from the Partner Schools Directory on the ACP website.

If the tuition benefit application is processed after the student has been billed for tuition, the student is responsible for paying their full tuition bill by the due date. Once their application is processed, the student will receive a refund through the campus bursar’s office.
