The priority deadline for Tuition Exchange at Kalamazoo College is March 1.

Students admitted or who send their Tuition Exchange applications after this date will be considered on a first come first serve basis provided that TE spots remain available.
Notification Process

Tuition Exchange replaces any merit scholarships and other Kalamazoo College awards that the student may have already been offered by the college. Students who are chosen to receive Tuition Exchange at Kalamazoo College have until May 1 to accept or decline the award. If a student is offered the Tuition Exchange award at a later time, they have two weeks to accept or decline the award.
Award Details
Kalamazoo College awards students the annual set rate, established by TE, each year as long as Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements are being met. The annual set rate is $41,000 for the 2023-24 academic year and $42,000 for the 2024-25 academic year. We encourage students receiving Tuition Exchange to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) so they can be considered for additional need-based financial aid.
