Fee Waiver/Scholarships. Faculty members who have been employed full-time by the College for at least 6 months, and their dependents, may be awarded a scholarship and permitted to enroll in a maximum of twelve credits per semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer) without payment of tuition, student activity, capital improvement, technology, and student financial aid fees. These scholarships may not be applied to bachelor’s degree programs. Eligible students must meet the admissions requirements set by the College and maintain standards of academic progress. Faculty members are not subject to the maximum attempted credits timeframe in determining eligibility for the scholarship. In the event scholarship funds are unavailable, fee waivers may be permitted subject to the same criteria. Employees or dependents who do not meet the standards of progress criteria may submit an appeal of their ineligibility via the Cashier’s Office to the Vice President of Business Affairs. If the appeal is approved, the employee or dependent may be awarded the scholarship. In the event of the death, retirement of a full-time faculty member, as retirement is defined by applicable Florida laws and regulations, or incapacity of a faculty member for health reasons as determined by the President, the provisions set forth in 13.01A. and 13.01B. above will continue to be in force for a period of five (5) years. This provision shall be effective prospectively from the effective date of this Agreement.
