Students enrolled in the Ninth Semester Program from fall 2006 to spring 2009:
Tuition is waived for those approved for the ninth semester. For those who teach full time for a year within three years following completion of the program, the tuition is forgiven; otherwise it is payable at the going rate in effect at the time of study in the ninth semester. Each student is responsible for a $225 student-teaching fee due at the beginning of the semester.

Beginning in the 2009–10 academic year, tuition will be waived for those approved for the ninth semester. For those who teach full time for two years within five years following completion of the program, 50 percent of the tuition will be forgiven. For those who teach three years within five years following completion of the program, 100 percent of the tuition will be forgiven. Otherwise, the tuition will be payable on the fifth anniversary of program completion at the going rate in effect at the time of study in the ninth semester. Each student is responsible for a $225 student-teaching fee due at the beginning of the semester.

For purposes of the tuition forgiveness policy, teaching includes teaching in an accredited school; teaching experiences in Grinnell-sponsored programs such as in Nanjing, China, Nepal, and Lesotho; and in some Peace Corps programs. Students should consult with the Cashier’s Office for information about whether teaching (other than in an accredited school) will count toward fulfilling this expectation.
