Things to know

No country restriction found.

Agent/partner programme confirmed: tiffin.edu/tu-global/global-recruitment-partners/ lists 33 active named partners (India, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, plus platforms ApplyBoard and UAP) and a 3-step inquiry process. Tiffin is an AIRC institutional member and 'encourages' but does not require partner AIRC certification. No commission percentage disclosed. Because sticker tuition is roughly double the public universities in this dataset, Tiffin's best-case net cost (~$38,700/yr at a 3.8 GPA) is actually the highest of the four automatic-scholarship schools - it's a fit mainly for a high-GPA applicant, not the typical case.
