Tuition Reimbursment for College Assistants/Tutors

The District Council 37 Education Fund administers a Tuition Reimbursement Program through which eligible members can receive financial assistance when they attend an accredited college, university or registered institution. The Fund reimburses for courses on an undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate level. Presently, members may apply for reimbursement of up to $175 per term for a maximum of three (3) terms per academic year for tuition and/or consolidated or registration fees that are not reimbursed through other forms of assistance.

To be eligible, a member must:

• Be a College Assistant or Sign Language Interpreter who works a minimum of 17 ½ hours per week are covered.
• Be employed at least 90 days prior to the first day of classes, and remain in a covered title for the term.
• Receive course credit towards a degree in a college or university accredited by the Middle States Association of College and Secondary Schools (life experience, independent study and dissertation credits are not reimbursable.)
• For college credit classes, receive a grade of "C" or better.
