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.
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.
