The Ohio State University offers eligible employees and their dependents the opportunity to advance their education at Ohio State. The Dependent Tuition Assistance Plan (Plan) pays a portion of the instructional and general fees for an eligible employee’s spouse/same-sex domestic partner, eligible unmarried dependent children, and eligible unmarried dependent children of their same-sex domestic partner, who take courses at Ohio State. A dependent of one eligible employee will receive 50 percent off the cost of instructional and general fees. The benefit for a dependent of two eligible employees is 75 percent. An eligible dependent may receive tuition assistance benefits for up to eight semesters or 140 semester hours of enrollment, whichever is greater.
Dependent tuition assistance applications must be submitted each term. The summer 2018 term enrollment window closes Friday, June 15. The autumn 2018 term enrollment window opens Monday, June 25, and closes Friday, Aug. 24. Faculty and staff can apply online using Employee Self Service or paper applications. The student must have a social security number on file with Buckeye Link to receive dependent tuition assistance.
