Benefits

Employee Tuition Assistance Program

Waives TTU System employees’ statutory and designated tuition and mandatory fees; one permitted course per term (summer I and summer II being combined into one summer term), not to exceed 3 courses in an academic year. Eligible employees taking a permitted course offered by TTU or TTUHSCEP do not need to apply for tuition waivers; an automated process will be initiated by Student Business Services to identify eligible employees and apply the tuition/fee waiver prior to the beginning of the term.
