Boston college has a policy that employees' kids can attend for free, as long as they are accepted. This janitor has five kids, all of whom got in, saving nearly $700k in tuition.Academic_Guava_4190 t1_iyksfxv wrote
Most schools have this policy. Some think it’s “elitist” but it’s a huge benefit to employees like this man and to say no one should have it because you think only professors work at a university is a tragedy.

I mean, imagine thinking about an elite university and thinking it’s the professors that are privileged.

Most schools here have that policy. We're higher ed transplants from Florida and were shocked to hear about the policy (happily, of course). Not something that happens in FL for sure

Some universities have deals with other schools nationwide where children of employees can pick a school off a list and get tuition reimbursement if they get accepted to the school.

I went to Deerfield Academy, one of the most exclusive, elitist private prep schools in the country. The current king of Jordan was one of my classmates. Mom worked in the alumni outreach office, I had a full tuition pass even though we were distinctly lower middle class.
Which, fat side note, most of my peers looked down upon with palpable disdain. I got in on potential and talent, so many of them were legacy acceptances.
