The RSPH Family Award is a partial tuition grant offered to any eligible RSPH employee’s child (natural or legally adopted) who enrolls in a master-level, degree-seeking program at the Rollins School of Public Health on a full-time basis. Courses taken on an audit basis (Special Standing) are not covered through the RSPH Family Award. The maximum award is 25% of tuition for the child of eligible  full-time and part-time employees.

 

Eligibility

The availability of the tuition award will depend on:

  • the employee's date of hire
  • the employee's eligible length of service
  • the employee's employment status

This tuition discount is provided per child. If both parents are Rollins employees and eligible for the RSPH Family Award for their children, the tuition discount will be based on the parent with the higher years of service. The amount of the award is not cumulative based on the parents’ eligibility. For example, if both parents are eligible for a 25% tuition award, the total benefit will be 25% of tuition (not 50%).

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)—Federal regulations require that students receiving financial aid maintain satisfactory academic progress, which will be monitored by the Office of Financial Aid. All students who receive financial aid—whether from federal, state, or Emory-funded sources—must be enrolled degree candidates in good standing to retain financial aid awards.   

Aid recipients must meet certain quantitative and qualitative measures and complete their programs within a maximum time frame. The definition and criteria to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress are described here.  If a student has questions regarding this policy, he/she should send an email to gradfinaid@emory.edu.
