Employer Tuition Reimbursement
August 18th 2008 20:46
Who doesn’t like to get something for free? I sure don’t mind. Many employers offer tuition reimbursement for college credit to employees based on certain qualifications. It may be limited to those in certain position or anyone that works full-time. Whatever the case, it is to your advantage to look into the options. Not many people get away with a free education, so when it is available, don’t pass it up.
There is a catch, however. Your employee may also limit the reimbursement based on the grade you receive for the course. For instance, if you get a D or F for the course, you can probably assume that your employee will not pay for it. On the other hand, they may only pay 90% or so for a B. Obviously, the best bet is to get an A. It really depends on your employer, so even if you don’t see anything advertised about this option, ask your Human Resources person to see if this is available to you.
Just a recommendation, but if you have been wanting a bachelors or a masters degree this is a great time to get it. The better educated you are, the less likely you are to be downsized in an organization. In addition, if you are looking for employment, a potential employer will be more interested in someone with more education if they have more than one applicant for the same job.
