Tuition reimbursement applications are available for undergraduate, graduate and (re)certification courses. Eligible employees may submit for tuition reimbursement not to exceed $1500 for each fiscal year (fall + spring + summer terms). Eligibility requirements include:
- the completion of twelve (12) months of service as a regular employee; employed at least half-time (.5) or more
- successful course completion (grade C or better) during the semester
Completed applications must be received by the Office of Human Resources by the stated deadline and must include (1) an explanation of how the coursework will contribute to individual’s professional growth as well as the mission of the Academy, (2) course description(s) from the course catalog of the credit granting institution, and (3) a copy of the paid tuition bill.
The budgeting process begins in the spring of the prior FY where individuals are required to submit interest, including semester(s) and total anticipated cost. (Reimbursement will be made up to $1,500 per academic year.) Response to the initial budgeting request is necessary to be considered for reimbursement in the upcoming FY. Submitting this initial request does not guarantee reimbursement. This expenditure will be considered with all other budgeted expenses when a final budget is approved and resources are allocated.
