Federal Government Employee Tuition Reimbursement

If a student is a full-time employee of the federal government, they may be eligible for reimbursement of their tuition and course material costs associated with their studies. The Office of Personnel Management supports job-related studies with up to 100% tuition reimbursement and may also cover the cost of all required course materials. The extent of this coverage depends on:

  • Approval by both the student's immediate supervisor and their local Civilian Training Director confirming the course to be directly related to their job requirements and professional development.
  • Funds available for the course. In some cases, limited funding may preclude full tuition reimbursement and/or course material cost coverage.

Students should confirm approval and financial assistance before registering for any courses.
