If you work at one of these schools, you can use your tuition benefits at any other school on the list.

Tuition Exchange is the organization that our university participates in- but separate and apart, employees have dependent benefits that are a bit *better* but this can vary by the school of course. For example, if we use my husband's benefit at our college, it's full tuition but if we use TE it has a cap (about $35k) which would mean some money out of pocket. Additionally, TE can be competitive since they only release so many spots per year, whereas every university employee can use this university to the fullest. Of course we didn't end up using it for our kids, so it doesn't matter, but for sure snagging a job at a university (not 2-year college) is a golden ticket- and it can absolutely be any full-time job doing anything! FWIW, private schools are more expensive but tend to offer better benefits, our state system in NC doesn't even have dependent benefits unless that's changed, but you can ask before you apply.
