Description

The VA tuition assistance program for employees in Illinois offers a structured approach for eligible employees to enhance their skills through educational courses. Employees must be full-time regular staff members with at least one year of service to qualify for this program. The reimbursement policy covers tuition and registration fees, limited by the number of credits and associated grading scale, which provides varying reimbursement rates based on academic performance. Employees are responsible for submitting a tuition reimbursement form and obtaining prior written approval from their supervisor and the human resources department before enrolling in courses. After course completion, proof of payment and official transcripts must be provided to receive reimbursement. The form includes a stipulation that if an employee exits the company within two years of receiving reimbursement, they are required to repay the amount back to the employer. This program particularly benefits attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants seeking to further their education while balancing their job responsibilities.
