Primary Information
Tuition Reimbursement allows benefits-eligible staff members to take courses outside Tufts University related to maintain or improve job-related skills at accredited institutions. To be eligible for the program you must be actively employed as a full-time benefits-eligible staff employee and have completed one year of full-time service before the course begins. If you are eligible, the university will reimburse 100% of approved tuition costs up to a maximum of $4,000 in a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) for qualifying, job-related courses. The program reimburses for tuition expenses not covered by any other source of educational assistance. Other types of fees associated with the course are not reimbursable.
