Tuition Reimbursement Guidelines

Volunteer Initiatives Program 

 

I see information about the Tuition Remission benefit for dependents on this web site, but not Tuition Reimbursement. Where can I find out how to apply for educational assistance?

The tuition remission benefit, which is administered under Compensation, Benefits and Insurance, is often confused with tuition reimbursement, a program for employees who are enrolled in educational programs at approved colleges or universities other than Grinnell College. The Office of Human Resources coordinates and maintains the Tuition Reimbursement program. Click here for Tuition Reimbursement Guidelines from the Office of Human Resources.

I'm a faculty member about to go on sabbatical. Where can I access information about how a leave from the institution affects my benefits or insurance plans?

How do increases in benefits affect the overall budget?

The base budget covers increases (sometimes substantial ones) in the cost of health and dental insurance as well as the increased costs of TIAA-CREF to provide retirement benefits, FICA, life insurance, and long-term disability insurance which result from increased wages and salaries.
