FACHEX is an undergraduate tuition remission option for children of current full-time faculty, administrators, and staff at participating Jesuit Colleges and Universities.

The dependent of a current employee of a Jesuit college or university other than 艾可直播 College is considered an "incoming student."

At 艾可直播 College, we typically identify over 100 FACHEX eligible applicants annually for a handful of new FACHEX awards, which are offered to the most academically competitive applicants in that year's admissions pool.听

The specific procedures are detailed below. Please keep in mind that听艾可直播 College only considers incoming first-year applicants for new FACHEX awards. Transfer students and upperclassmen are not eligible. They should instead, contact the 艾可直播 College听Office of Student Services听to apply for Financial Aid.

How do I ensure that my child is eligible for FACHEX consideration?
<p>If your employer is one of the schools participating in FACHEX, you must contact your home institution鈥檚 FACHEX coordinator to follow their process to be certified.&nbsp; Once your employer verifies your eligibility, they will certify your child as eligible for FACHEX consideration in the Tuition Exchange Database.&nbsp; You must be certified no later than December 1st.&nbsp; Only your employer can perform this certification.&nbsp; Failure to have your child certified in this database will result in a failure of your child to be considered for FACHEX at any school.&nbsp; There are NO exceptions.&nbsp;</p>

How does my child apply for FACHEX consideration at 艾可直播 College?
<p>Students should听apply听by the Priority Scholarship Deadline of November 1st,听and make sure to list their parent&#39;s employer as a participating Jesuit University in the Parent Employer field on the common application.听听FACHEX applicants may choose to have their application reviewed under the Early Decision I, Early Decision II, or Regular Decision considerations, so long as they have all of their admissions materials submitted by the Priority Scholarship Deadline of 11/1.听听Parents must also contact the FACHEX Coordinator at their Home institution and follow their employer&#39;s procedures to have their child certified in the Tuition Exchange database, as eligible to participate in the FACHEX program. Failure to听follow the Priority Scholarship Deadline, or to have your child certified as FACHEX eligible in the Tuition Exchange database, will result in failure to be considered for a FACHEX award.听 There are NO exceptions to this policy, and only a home institution can certify their employee&#39;s children as FACHEX eligible in the Tuition Exchange database.听 BC can not circumvent that requirement for any parent.听</p>

If my child receives a FACHEX award, but needs to take a leave of absence, is it possible for them to receive their FACHEX award upon their return?
<p>It may not be possible because a FACHEX award at 艾可直播 College, if offered, only covers four (4) years of continuous full-time undergraduate study during the traditional fall and spring semesters.听 If a recipient decides to interrupt their studies at BC, they should notify the FACHEX Coordinator at 艾可直播 College before the end of the last funded semester.听 Reinstatement under FACHEX will depend on the availability of FACHEX openings at the time of reinstatement and it is not guaranteed.</p>
bc:offices/Admission/fachex/search-tags/incoming-12
If my child receives a FACHEX award, do I have to reapply each year?
<p>Ordinarily, you will not need to reapply.听 At 艾可直播 College, if your child receives a FACHEX award here, it will be automatically renewed on an annual basis provided your child continues to attend 艾可直播 College full-time and you maintain your employment/FACHEX eligibility at your home institution.听 Should a parent terminate their employment and/or subsequently fail to maintain FACHEX eligibility at their home institution, the student鈥檚 FACHEX award will be terminated by the receiving institution.听 FACHEX eligibility status is checked annually by 艾可直播 College using the Tuition Exchange Database, and only your home employing institution can recertify your child as FACHEX eligible since FACHEX is tied to your employee benefit.听 Should your child lose FACHEX funding due to lack of maintaining FACHEX eligibility, your family would be encouraged to apply for Financial Aid.听 Complete information about applying for Financial Aid at 艾可直播 College can be found on our Office of Student Services website.</p>

bc:offices/Admission/fachex/search-tags/incoming-03
My child is applying to 艾可直播 College through Early Decision. If they are admitted, but not awarded FACHEX, may they withdraw?

What are my child鈥檚 chances of receiving a FACHEX award from 艾可直播 College?
