That continues to be true for those employees hired before 1975. Lessee... an asistant professor hired at age 26 in 1975 would now be 69 years old.
The program now is fairly general and less remunerative, as the link show and applies to education expenses incurred at any school. The semester deductible is higher than state school tuition in NC, so Duke is not giving scholarship assistance to children of staff attending UNC (or State).
The Children’s Tuition Grant Program provides a grant for undergraduate tuition expenses incurred by children of eligible employees for full-time study at any accredited college or university.
The amount of the tuition grant is up to 75% of the weighted average of Duke’s tuition, after applying a deductible. Each eligible employee may receive up to a maximum of 16 semesters of tuition assistance, no more than eight of which may be used by any one child.
