The University of Rhode Island participates in the New England Land Grant Reciprocal Faculty Dependent Tuition Agreement. Both classified and non- classified employees who meet the current Board of Trustees and collective bargaining contract guidelines for tuition waivers are eligible.
Which universities currently participate in the program?
- University of Rhode Island
- University of Connecticut (Storrs)
- University of Maine at Orono
Which costs are covered?
Eligible participants pay in-state tuition, rather than out-of-state tuition, for programs of study at the undergraduate degree level at the university they are attending (if they are not residents already eligible for in-state tuition status).
How long will this program be in effect?
This program remains in effect at each of the participating institutions until such time as that particular institution withdraws its participation in the program.
In such instances, students currently enrolled will not be able to continue (until degree completion) at the in-state tuition rate in force under the program.
How do I get more information and apply for this benefit for my dependents?
