The Staff Tuition Reimbursement Program (STRP)

Form Instructions

1. STRP assistance is allowable for undergraduate or graduate education leading to a degree.  The employee must be admitted to a degree program.
2. The allowance is limited to regular tuition and general recurring fees only.
3. No Stanford Training Assistance Program (STAP) funds are used in conjunction with this program.
4. Applicant must be a regular employee (not fixed-term) working a minimum of 50%, at SLAC for at least 1 year to qualify for funds.
5. Employee must submit an application to the Training Office for approval to qualify for this program. Supervisory approval is required to show that eligibility has been met.
6. No payments are made for this program from SLAC Accounting.
7. No required text fees are covered under this program.
8. The maximum STRP reimbursement is $5250 per fiscal year, pro-rated for regular staff who work less than full-time. Unused STRP funds may not be “carried over” to future years. These funds must be exhausted before any other tuition reimbursement funds may be used.
9. The University pays the institution directly. The employee submits the documentation before taking the class, thus relieving the employee of any out-of-pocket expenses (except required texts.)

11. Employees must provide the supervisor and the Training Office with evidence of satisfactory completion no later that four weeks after each course is completed. Such evidence may be an official grade card or transcript from the institution. If that is not possible, written confirmation of course completion from the instructor or institution will be accepted. A grade C or better, or pass grade in a pass/fail course is required.
