Tuition Waiver Program

The Colleges of Worcester Consortium facilitates a Tuition Waiver Program at member institutions for teachers* in the following school systems:
  • Worcester Public Schools
  • Worcester Diocese Schools
  • Worcester Academy
  • Bancroft School
  • Notre Dame Academy

*This program does not apply to administration or staff. It now DOES include anyone from eligible schools working with students and having a full-time teacher contract. This program is for fall and spring semesters only.

Each teacher applicant should contact the college directly to determine the course and course number that he/she would like to register for. Each teacher should fill out the online request form and submit it by Wednesday, December 19, 2012 

All requests will be forwarded to the appropriate colleges for approval on December 20. Teachers will be notified by the Consortium via e-mail as soon as each college determines which vouchers will be awarded. Please add douellet [at] cowc [dot] org to your email address book so the email is not filtered as SPAM. Vouchers are granted based upon space availability in a course. Preference will be given to teachers who have not participated in the program in the past and are not enrolled in a graduate program at a Consortium institution.

Please note that vouchers waive tuition costs only. Students awarded vouchers will have to pay appropriate fees which vary by college (parking permit, registration fee, etc.). For more information about fees, contact the Registrar’s Office at the school you are interested in attending.

 Click here to submit the Tuition Waiver Application for Spring 2013 (available November 12, 2012). You will need the course #, days, times & instructor name. You will also need a login and password which you can get from your principal or superintendant’s office (after November 12).
