CatholicLink Discount Program
St. Norbert College is a member of CatholicLink, a partnership with Green Bay Area Catholic Education (GRACE) school system, Notre Dame Academy, with the mission of furthering world-class Catholic education in the greater Green Bay area.  As a member of CatholicLink, St. Norbert College employees benefit from a generous 50% tuition discount for their children to attend Green Bay Area Catholic Education elementary schools and Notre Dame Academy.  To take part, you will need to complete the CatholicLink Discount Program application for each of your children you would like to enroll in the program. This application needs to be completed every year for each child.  The deadline to submit an application for the CatholicLink Discount Program for the 2027-2028 academic year is Nov. 1, 2026.  If your spouse works at the school you want your child to attend, you should check with their school/workplace to find out if more advantageous discounts apply.  

Tuition Exchanges at Other Institutions for 2027/2028 School Year
St. Norbert College currently participates in two tuition exchange programs.  Since participation in an exchange is a scholarship rather than a benefit, acceptance into an exchange is not guaranteed.  If you meet eligibility requirements, you, your spouse and dependent children may apply for a scholarship award of tuition at colleges and universities that participate in these exchange programs.  Only undergraduate course work is eligible.  The SNC policy provides more details about eligibility.

FIRST STEP!  
Please submit a completed  TE/CIC Internal Exchange Application by December 1st, 2026.  Everyone must do this for initial and renewal applications.   

SECOND STEP!  
Complete the online TE EZ Application by December 1st, 2026 for new students only or students that did not receive an award with any previous applications.  NEW THIS YEAR!!  -  Both Exchanges (TE and CIC) are now combined into one application.  The most current listing of participating schools is available on the exchange website. 

Continuing TE Scholars (those already receiving a Tuition Exchange Scholarship, FACHEX Scholarship, or CIC-TEP* Scholarship) should not submit an application.  There are only three reasons to submit another TE EZ-Application: 1) if you plan to transfer to another TE, FACHEX, or CIC-TEP* school or 2) if your parent changes employers and now works for a new TE school or 3) You applied for a TE, FACHEX, or CIC-TEP Scholarship in the prior year and were not awarded one, and are seeking to re-apply for the upcoming year.

What happens after you apply for the CIC or TE exchange(s)?
Completing the application on their website is the first step. The school to which you apply then determines if they will award you an exchange scholarship.  Each school sets its own policies for evaluating exchange applications.  They may also vary in the amount/percentage of tuition that is waived. You should directly contact the specific institution for answers to these questions.  Institutions generally will not consider an exchange application unless the student has been admitted.  Liaison officers at each institution will update the websites of their decision on each exchange application.  Communication will go to the student.  The time frame for responses varies from institution to institution.

If your exchange application has been approved by the school to which you applied (and you attend), it can remain in effect for up to eight semesters as long as the student maintains the academic and conduct standards of the exchange institution. This scholarship award program (for SNC exports) assumes the same eligibility requirements as those of the Tuition Waiver. Typically, summer sessions are counted as a semester. J-terms are not counted or applicable under Tuition Exchange.  If the school to which you applied denies your exchange application, you may reapply the following year.
