Tuition Remission Scholarship Plan for
Dependent Children of CMC Employees

1. Claremont McKenna College has a scholarship plan for dependent children of CMC employees. Normally these employees will have been employed by the College for at least two years.



2. Scholarships will be granted only to eligible children who are working toward an Associate of Arts or a Bachelor's Degree at an eligible institution. An eligible college or university must be accredited and it must have a regular organized body of students in attendance at the place where its educational activities are conducted. Scholarships will not be awarded for on-the-job training, correspondence schools, night schools, or similar institutions. In the case of any dispute over the eligibility of any specific institution, the director of human resources in consultation with the director of financial aid will forward a recommendation to the president whose decision shall be binding.



3. Scholarships will be awarded to those children who demonstrate scholastic ability. Normally no scholarship will be awarded to a child who has failed to maintain a "C" average, or the equivalent, in high school or college work during the preceding academic year.



4. Each scholarship may be renewed for a total of no more than 8 semesters, 12 quarters, 120 units or 32 courses--whichever the attended institution accepts as its minimum graduation requirements. Scholarships for summer sessions will be counted as a part of the total.



5. The largest scholarship granted in any one academic year will be one-half of the tuition (excluding the cost of books, fees, room, and board) charged undergraduate students at the institution to be attended. Total scholarship grant to any individual shall not exceed the equivalent of the then current tuition at CMC.



6. An application form for the scholarship must be completed each semester/quarter and accompanied by the official billing statement and a complete transcript in the fall or a grade report at mid-year.



7. All scholarships will be paid directly to the institution attended. If the student withdraws from the institution before completing an academic year, any rebate of tuition will be returned to CMC.



8. Normally, each qualified employee is eligible for scholarships that cover no more than 16 semesters (or the equivalent) of undergraduate education. The scholarships may be divided among any of the employee's eligible children. For example, 2 children might each be eligible for 8 semesters of scholarship aid, 4 children for 4 semesters, etc.



9. Should an eligible CMC employee die whose child or children would otherwise be eligible for scholarship grants, these children will normally remain eligible for not more than 5 years from the date of the employee's death. Although this extension will help children not yet enrolled in college at the time of death, it will normally not continue beyond the stipulated five-year period.



10. The benefit will be available only to employees who are in paid status, who hold full-time positions with the College, and who have been with the College two years or longer. Employees who transfer from one of the other Claremont Colleges must establish a two-year employment period with Claremont McKenna College prior to being eligible for this benefit.
