Is the free-tuition-for-employees thing unusual? I had a couple of kids that graduated high school with me get into several different schools because their parents worked there (no professors. mostly janitors, cafeteria workers, etc.) I was under the impression that it was similar to the GI bill for american soliders - an employee could use it, or give it to a family member.


My father is a professor at Iowa State. Everyone assumed I received free tuition, but there were actually no benefits. I 've heard of it at several private schools though.


At Caltech the children of any employee who manage to get in (on their own merits) are given free tuition.

It's certainly true for Toronto and Waterloo universities here in Canada.
