Tuition waiver requests open June 1 for faculty/staff dependents
Faculty and staff who have a dependent child attending Illinois State University or any other eligible reciprocal institution in summer of 2025 or for the 2025-26 academic year should start submitting a tuition waiver application to Human Resources on June 1. This will help to ensure that a credit is received on the first tuition bill.
The tuition waiver application is located on the Human Resources website along with additional information about educational benefits and qualifying. One application needs to be filed each academic year in which this benefit is being used.
If you have questions, please contact Teresa Fultz (last name A-L) or Michele Pedler (last name M-Z) at (309) 438-8311.
ALL final waiver requests should be attached and submitted directly to HRTuitionWaivers@IllinoisState.edu.
