Scholarship Plan for Dependent Children

The College provides tuition scholarships for dependent children of full-time employees who have completed at least three years of service. The scholarship is equivalent to 50% of the tuition of the institution attended, including Hamilton, not to exceed 50% of Hamilton's then current tuition.

An eligible institution includes any accredited undergraduate four-year or two-year college. The scholarship is limited to four years' attendance at a four-year college or two-years' attendance at a two-year college, unless transfer is made to a four-year college, in which case the scholarship would be extended to its maximum length of four years. For dependents attending colleges or universities in New York State, the sum of TAP and Hamilton College's tuition scholarship cannot exceed 100% of tuition of institution attended.

To apply for this benefit, a completed Request for Dependent Tuition Benefits form and copy of the tuition bill should be submitted to Human Resources. Payment is made directly to the institution in which the child is enrolled.

Dependent children of employees with half-time or more appointments are eligible for this benefit on a pro-rated basis. Visiting faculty on one-year term appointments, temporary, and part-time employees are not eligible for benefits under this plan.

In the event of the death or disability of an employee, dependent children at the time of the death or disability will remain eligible for benefits through age 25 under the terms of the College's Tuition Scholarship Plan for Dependent Children, providing the employee has completed at least ten years of regular, half-time or more employment.

In the event of the retirement of an employee, dependent children at the time of the retirement will remain eligible for benefits through age 25 under the terms of the College's Tuition Scholarship Plan for Dependent Children, providing the employee at the time of retirement had a combination of age and years of service equaling at least 75.

For full-time employees who accepted employment at the College prior to June 3, 2000, the following plan provision will apply: following the completion of three years of service, dependent children who qualify for admission to Hamilton will receive full remission of tuition charges for up to but not more than four years, less any scholarships awarded from other sources that are restricted to tuition only.

In addition, for full-time members of the faculty and administration who accepted employment at the College prior to June 3, 2000, the following plan provision will apply for dependent children studying at other accredited institutions: the College will provide a scholarship equivalent to the lesser of the cost of the tuition of the institution attended or fifty percent of Hamilton's current tuition.
