Educational Benefits for Research Foundation Employees

Eligibility:

All full-time employees of the Research Foundation are eligible to participate in the State University of New York's tuition waiver program as established by the SUNY Board of Trustees.

Description:

Tuition waivers are allowable only for credit-bearing courses of instruction taken at state-operated campuses. The courses of instruction must be directly job related or part of a degree program.

The State University of New York allocates tuition waiver funds directly to each campus. The percentage of the tuition waiver is determined by the funds available and the number of employees who are applying. The actual level of support may be less than 100 percent of tuition charges. In these cases, the employee is responsible for the balance of tuition and fees.

In addition to the tuition waiver program provided by the University, project directors may provide direct tuition support to sponsored program employees if the project director determines that appropriate grant funds are available.
