NCICU Tuition Exchange
In an effort to improve the fringe benefits available to their employees, several North Carolina independent colleges and universities have combined to create the North Carolina Independent College and University Tuition Exchange Program. This program entitles certified dependents of college employees to attend undergraduate school tuition-free at any of the participating colleges and universities. Dependents will be certified using the same criteria used to define tuition-free status at the “home” institution. For details about this program, call NCICU’s office: 919.832.5817.
