University of Chicago Tuition Remission Program for Children of Fermilab Employees

Dependent children of regular, full-time employees of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are eligible for the tuition remission program at the University of Chicago.

Description of Benefit for Undergraduate Studies

If your child is accepted and enrolls as an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, this benefit allows you (or your child) to pay only half of the undergraduate tuition at the University.  For purposes of this benefit, the term “children” includes unmarried natural or adopted children, stepchildren, or children for whom you are the legal guardian. You must claim the child as a dependent for federal income tax purposes.

This benefit covers only 50% of the stated tuition charge at the University.  It does not cover separately stated fees such as application fees, room and board charges, laboratory and other special fees charged for particular courses or programs, whether required or not, or any other incidental fees.  Each eligible child may receive a total of 50% tuition reimbursement.

In no case will the tuition benefit provided through the program, combined with any other tuition aid and assistance provided, allow an employee to recover more than 100% of the stated tuition.

The maximum period of this benefit is 12 quarters.  If your child withdraws from the University during a quarter for which tuition has been paid, that quarter will be counted toward the 12-quarter maximum, unless the tuition paid by you is refunded in full.  This benefit will terminate as of the earliest date to occur:

  1. The date your child receives a bachelor’s degree
  2. The date you are no longer employed by Fermilab
  3. The date the 12-quarter maximum is reached
  4. The date your child marries
  5. The date your child is no longer treated as your dependent
  6. The date the University of Chicago terminates this benefit

To enroll in the program, complete the Tuition Remission form and the affidavit. Submit them to Nicole Gee at MS 124.
