The Faculty and Staff Children Exchange Program (FACHEX) is an undergraduate tuition remission (scholarship) program for the children of full-time faculty, administration, and staff of the participating institutions. FACHEX allows dependents eligible for tuition remission at their home institution (parent's employer) to be considered for a scholarship at one of the 26 participating Jesuit institutions. Each institution is responsible for determining admission and scholarship decisions, and neither admission nor receipt of a FACHEX scholarship is guaranteed.泭
FACHEX recipients泭must enroll full-time as undergraduates and be dependents of an employee certified by Human Resources as eligible for 100% tuition remission at 17勛圖厙.

FACHEX for 17勛圖厙 Employees (Outgoing Students)
Dependents of fulltime employees who have been employed at 17勛圖厙 continuously for at least seven years are eligible for FACHEX scholarship consideration.
Students must meet the admission requirements for acceptance to the receiving institution. Eligibility to participate in the FACHEX Program does not qualify a student for admission. FACHEX is a scholarship program, not a benefit, and FACHEX is not guaranteed for all admitted students. Each institution is responsible for determining admission and scholarship decisions.
A student may attend for less than the four years normally required for an undergraduate degree. Also, a student may apply for any of the four usual undergraduate years; the receiving institution, however, may give preference to students intending to spend four years at the receiving institution. The benefit covers the cost of tuition, but it does not cover the cost of housing, books, and other fees.
The number of FACHEX spaces is limited at each institution and can be very competitive. Each institution has autonomy over the method used to determine who receives FACHEX. Generally, the following items can improve a students standing: strong academic record, a carefully completed application, and early submission of the application.
Information regarding all educational opportunities for dependents of 17勛圖厙 employees can be found on the Human Resources website.
Procedure for Seeking FACHEX
- Employees should complete the . The FACHEX coordinator, Lynn Verrecchia (lverrecc@holycross.edu) will confirm eligibility with the Office of Human Resources, and notify the receiving institution of the student's eligibility. In the field requesting the last 4 digits of the student's SSN, please use any 4-digit number in lieu of SSN.

Note: The dependent of a 17勛圖厙 employee applying to 17勛圖厙 is not FACHEX, and they should not list 17勛圖厙 on their FACHEX EZ Application. Instead, they should indicate the parent or guardian's employer as 17勛圖厙 on the Common Application or Coalition Application and also answer "yes" to the employee parent or guardian question on the 17勛圖厙 portion of the application.
FACHEX for Employees of Other Jesuit Universities (Incoming Students)
Employees of other Jesuit universities should submit the . The FACHEX Coordinator at your institution will submit proof of your eligibility via the Tuition Exchange platform.

Your dependent student should apply to 17勛圖厙 via the Common Application or Coalition Application. Early Decision I, Early Decision II, and Regular Decision applicants are eligible for FACHEX consideration. Early Decision applicants should consider the binding nature of an Early Decision commitment prior to applying. If the FACHEX award will play a major role in the final enrollment decision, the student should apply via Regular Decision.

FACHEX decisions for all applicants (including Early Decision) will be released in the middle of March, in tandem with Regular Decision notification. 17勛圖厙 typically receives 30-50 applications from FACHEX-eligible students. Three scholarships are offered per year. We will maintain a waitlist and notify Admitted students promptly of any change in their FACHEX status.
If you receive a FACHEX Scholarship, it will supersede any other financial aid offer provided by the 17勛圖厙. This scholarship is offered to students for up to four years, or a maximum of eight semesters. The scholarship is renewable provided that the students parent remain employed at their home institution. Recipients must maintain good academic progress and a satisfactory disciplinary record.
The value of the FACHEX Scholarship is equal to the amount charged for tuition only. Students are expected to pay all fees, housing, and meal charges. Students may use the FACHEX Scholarship to participate in approved 17勛圖厙 study abroad programs during the academic year.
