Funds are available on a seniority basis. The Human Resources Department will pay for a maximum of 15 credit hours for the year - three credit hours in the summer and six each in the fall and spring. Scholarships for the same number of credit hours are also available for full-time classified employees' spouses and dependents. Also, in accordance with a new policy that went into effect starting this fall, part-time classified and hourly employees with three or more years of service to the university are eligible for educational assistance.
Scholarships are available for their spouses and dependents, as well.
Educational aid and scholarships for graduate-level courses may be considered as taxable income. Receiving educational aid or a scholarship from the Human Resources Department may affect any other financial aid award a student may get.
