EMPLOYEE SCHOLARSHIPS

As a career development program, U.T. Tyler offers scholarships that include tuition and fees for full-time employees who desire to enroll and take classes at U.T. Tyler. Scholarships are limited to six credit hours per semester at U.T. Tyler. Scholarships are awarded at the beginning of the semester for U.T. Tyler courses. A supervisor may allow an employee to spend a portion of an employee’s workday in class. The supervisor’s decision depends on circumstances in the department (e.g., the ability to cover for an employee while he or she is in class). Circumstances may require that the employee make-up the working time spent in class. Generally, an employee should not plan to take more than one course during working hours. Employees desiring to take courses at U.T. Tyler must apply for admission in the Admissions Office.
