What Is a Tuition Assistance Program?
A tuition assistance program is when one of many different organizations or localities offers to help pay for tuition for secondary or post-secondary education for its members or residents. Many branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, for example, will help to pay for the college tuition of people who serve over various amounts of time. Similarly, many employers will help their employees to pay for schooling, especially when the education can have a direct positive influence upon an individual’s work performance.
