The university supports and encourages continual learning and educational development by providing financial support through the Staff Tuition Reimbursement Program. Through this employee benefit, staff can receive funding to assist with tuition expenses to help reach their academic goals.
New program applicant reimbursements are limited to Iowa Regents Institutions for the Fiscal 2026 year. This limitation does not apply to the continuation of educational programs in progress for which funding was previously received.
The program is available to Merit and Professional & Scientific staff members holding a non-temporary position appointment of at least 20 hours per week and having at least one year of continuous non-temporary university service.
To learn more about the program, apply, and review the Frequently Asked Questions, view the Staff Tuition Reimbursement Program webpage, review Policy 4.75, or feel free to contact us at hrs-learning@uni.edu.
