SCU Faculty and Staff Children Exchange (FACHEX) Procedures and Conditions

The following information about Santa Clara University's participation in the FACHEX Program should be noted:

• If you have not done so already, your parent should request that the FACHEX coordinator at your home institution certify to Santa Clara University your eligibility to participate in the FACHEX Program.
  

• Apply for admission to Santa Clara University by the Early Action published deadline November 1. A FACHEX certification on your behalf does not qualify you for admission, nor does an offer of admission extended to you mean an automatic FACHEX award. A FACHEX determination will be made after you have been certified as eligible and have been extended an offer of Early Action admission.
  

• Apply for financial aid. Students requesting FACHEX consideration must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE . We encourage you to use the online option to file these forms. FACHEX Opening are limited. Other forms of financial aid may make it possible for you to attend Santa Clara University in the event that FACHEX benefits cannot be offered to you.
  

• Once we receive your certification letter we will place you on our new student FACHEX waiting list. If we are able to offer you a FACHEX position, we will issue you an official SCU Financial Aid Award. Please note that FACHEX positions are offered only at the entering student level. A continuing student FACHEX wait list is not maintained.
  

• Reserve your place in the entering class. FACHEX openings sometimes occur after the May 1 deposit date. If you plan to enroll at Santa Clara University, with or without FACHEX benefits, you must meet this deposit deadline. Only deposited students will be considered for any FACHEX openings that might become available late.
  

• FACHEX benefits are available only to undergraduate students, and they are available only for twelve quarters of college attendance, where attendance was at Santa Clara University or elsewhere. If a recipient decides to interrupt studies at Santa Clara University, reinstatement under FACHEX will depend upon the number of openings at the time of return. Students returning from an approved study abroad year will have FACHEX reinstated upon their return. FACHEX recipients are subject to all appropriate financial aid terms and conditions.
