Dependent children of regular full-time faculty and staff who have completed five (5) years of full-time benefits-eligible University service are eligible to participate in the tuition remission program. This program is available for up to four (4) academic years, or eight (8) regular semesters of full-time undergraduate study per child. Eligible children are required to meet the regular admissions requirements and be accepted to Bucknell University in order to utilize tuition remission.
Children for whom you were responsible as of their 14th birthday are eligible for tuition benefits.
Children are limited to four (4) years of tuition benefits through the semester in which they turn 24, or until they have obtained their first bachelor's degree, whichever comes first.
Children serving on active duty in the military can extend the benefit for one (1) additional year for each year of military service, not to exceed age 28. For example, a child who enlists at 18 and serves four (4) years of active duty, then begins college at the age of 22, will be eligible to utilize the tuition benefit through the semester in which they turn 26. Proof of active duty service is required to be eligible for this extension.
