Students can receive up to $5,250 in tuition reimbursement tax-free from their employer each calendar year. Declarations of tuition reimbursement on income taxes should be reviewed and discussed with a tax professional. ### How do my employer tuition assistance benefits impact financial aid? Employer tuition benefits shouldn’t prevent you from receiving loans and grants. However, they may impact your financial aid. If the entire cost of tuition, books and fees aren’t covered by the benefit, you may be able to obtain financial aid to cover the difference. Be sure to include any employer tuition assistance as part of your financial aid application since it may reduce or limit your aid. ### How do I claim my employer tuition benefits? Confirm that there’s an alliance agreement between your employer and University of Phoenix that includes tuition benefits. If there is, you’ll be able to review the benefits that your employer offers before you enroll at University of Phoenix. Reach out to your employer’s HR department. Let them know that you want to enroll and use your organization’s tuition benefits. ### How long do I have to be employed before I’m eligible for tuition benefits? Your eligibility requirements are set by your employer. Eligibility may be dependent on employment at the company for a certain amount of time. Check with your HR department. ### Can I pursue any field using my employer tuition assistance? It depends on your employer. In general, eligibility for employer educational assistance is dependent on criteria your employer sets. For instance, you may be eligible based on the program and number of credit hours you take within an academic year. Whether you want to enroll in undergraduate or graduate degrees, or certificate programs can also impact eligibility. You may also be required to be a full-time employee. Check with your company’s HR department. ### What happens if I don’t have an employer tuition benefit? Tuition savings aren’t solely dependent on employment with an employer that has an alliance with University of Phoenix. At University of Phoenix, we have many ways to save. Evaluations of relevant life and work experience, scholarships and eligible transfer credits from prior college experience are all options to lower your costs.
