Tuition reimbursement is available to M/C employees for educational course work that is categorized as either job-related or career-related and offered by approved schools or organizations.
Tuition reimbursement amount is now $5,000 for employees in certain bargaining units.
Tuition reimbursement (also known as tuition assistance) is an employee benefit through which an employer pays for a predetermined amount of continuing education credits or college coursework to be applied toward a degree.
An EAP— sometimes called a tuition reimbursement program—enables employers to fund their employees' higher education courses. For example, you might choose to fully or partially fund your employees' undergraduate or graduate degrees, professional development or skills-building courses, or vocational certifications.
Who is eligible for tuition assistance? All four service branches and the U.S. Coast Guard offer financial assistance for voluntary, off-duty education programs in support of service members' personal and professional goals. The program is open to officers, warrant officers and enlisted active-duty service personnel.
