Going to a family reunion? Sending a note to Grandma? Be sure to ask them to help make the dream of a college education real. Simply by banking with First Midwest and opening a Tuition Rewards account, your family members can work together with you to make your points grow even faster. They’ll earn 500 points for enrolling in Tuition Rewards, and you’ll receive a 100-point bonus for every family member that joins (see table below).

The easiest way to earn Tuition Rewards points is to add eligible accounts and services (see table below) to your First Midwest banking relationship as you encounter different financial needs. Remember, we’ll always take the time to understand where you want to go and then help you get there, realizing your goals for a healthy financial future.

As your First Midwest banking relationship grows, so do your Tuition Rewards points. And, adding accounts and services isn’t the only way . . . consolidating your balances from other institutions at First Midwest is another way to expand your relationship and the Tuition Rewards points that you can earn (see table below).
