Education Assistance Programs


Tuition Reimbursement Program for Non-Yale Courses and Programs

Tuition Reimbursement offers employees financial assistance for educational pursuits. The tuition reimbursement process is simple. Upon completion of a course/semester, a staff member completes the tuition reimbursement application, attaches a copy of the grade report and itemized tuition bill to the application. These documents are then submitted to the Yale University Tuition Service Center, ADP Benefit Services for processing.
