Both programs enable eligible employees’ dependent children to choose among other colleges and universities and apply for tuition-free scholarships. In exchange, dependent children of employees of other colleges and universities who are members of these exchanges may apply to Chatham University for tuition-free scholarship. The primary obligation of members in TE programs is to maintain a balance exchange pattern, a reasonable match between student “exports” and student “imports.”
