After a full-time employee has completed three years of full-time service, his or her dependent children are eligible for full tuition remission, on a place-available basis, if they are accepted in a full-time undergraduate or graduate program at Sarah Lawrence College through the regular admissions procedures. The employee must have met the three-year service requirement prior to the first effective semester for which a tuition payment is due and must have worked full-time immediately prior to commencement of the benefit. A break in service of less than one year will not deter eligibility, provided that the employee otherwise meets the three year eligibility requirement.

Children of regular part-time employees are eligible for prorated remission of the tuition after the employee has completed three years of service in this category. Proration of the remission for part-time employees will be calculated as the average of the employee's work schedule during the three years prior to the semester that the benefit is extended. Dependent children of eligible part-time employees who change to permanent full-time status receive no less than 75% of the full award during the intermediate time until completion of three years of uninterrupted full-time service; they may receive more than 75% of the full award during this time if their previous schedule so dictates.

Cash grants and Tuition Remission for children of employees are awarded to the dependent child, not the employee. Therefore, if a child has two parents employed by Sarah Lawrence College, this does not affect the educational benefit awarded to the child.

The amount of tuition remission will be reduced by any governmental tuition assistance available to the child (e.g., New York State Tuition Assistance Program and Regents tuition awards) in the same ratio as tuition remission is being received. College policy requires that all recipients of tuition remission meet with the Director of Financial Aid to determine their eligibility for governmental tuition assistance.

A dependent child is defined as one who receives more than one-half support from the employee and is claimed as a dependent by the employee on his/her tax return in each year of the tuition benefit. As proof of dependency, a copy of the "Filing Status" section of the employee's Federal Income Tax return must be attached to the tuition remission application.
