FACHEX PROGRAM INFORMATION AND APPLICATION
Program Qualifications, the student:
A.
must qualify as a child (eligible children are children born to the University employee and not adopted by another or
children adopted by the University employee prior to the commencement of the academic year) of a current or
former full-time Faculty or Staff member who, prior to the first day of classes for the term for which FACHEX
benefits are sought, meets one of the following criteria:
he or she is a full-time Faculty or Staff member who has completed three years of continuous full-time service
with Saint Louis University immediately prior to the first day of classes for which FACHEX benefits are sought;
or
he or she is a former full-time Faculty or Staff member who was employed for more than seven consecutive
years by Saint Louis University and he or she terminated employment with the University by reason of his or
her death or by reason of retirement upon or after the attainment of age 60; and

FACHEX Program Eligibility
Saint Louis University determines your eligibility for the FACHEX Program, after you apply for FACHEX eligibility
certification. If Saint Louis University would grant full-undergraduate tuition remission benefits to the student based on
his/her parent’s University employment, then the student is eligible for consideration for a FACHEX award.
FACHEX Award Value
The FACHEX award provides the annual cost of tuition at a participating institution, but FACHEX recipients must pay the
cost of applicable fees, books, room, board and other costs of attendance at the FACHEX institution. As always, students
may apply for additional, need-based financial assistance by annually filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA).
FACHEX Program Limitations
Not all Jesuit institutions participate in the FACHEX program, and there are some program restrictions at some
participating institutions (e.g., health sciences, nursing, and overseas studies may be excluded). Each university
determines the programs that are unavailable to FACHEX students. Furthermore, no participating institution is
obligated to enroll more than three FACHEX students over the number it sends out to other schools. Hence, at times,
one or more participating FACHEX institutions may have no openings, and it may be impossible to forecast much in
advance as to when openings could occur. Institutions aim to inform FACHEX applicants of their award status no later
than May 1. If a FACHEX institution offers less than full tuition remission to its eligible faculty/staff dependents, an
incoming FACHEX student would receive a similar tuition award and be responsible for the difference between full
tuition and the FACHEX award along with other non-tuition costs.
FACHEX Program Requirements & Recertification
If given a FACHEX award, the employee must request recertification each year the student is attending that Jesuit
institution. For recertification, please e-mail request to Human Resources, Shelli Brown: shelli.brown@slu.edu no later
than March 1 proceeding the upcoming academic year. Do not complete this form for recertification.
