San Marcos CISD is excited to offer current full-time employees the opportunity to recoup some of their tuition expenses. Tuition reimbursement exists to support staff members who choose to pursue advanced degrees. Reimbursement is also available to individuals seeking initial undergraduate degrees. This program is intended to enhance the skills of our staff members, especially in high-need areas, by making access to higher education coursework more affordable. Interested individuals must submit a completed application to human resources to be considered.

The program will reimburse eligible applications for annual tuition costs up to a maximum of $3,000 each school year. Employees may request reimbursements of up to $1,000 a semester. The minimum enrollment of 6 hours per semester. Applications may be submitted for reimbursement of tuition for any coursework required for the approved degree plan. Priority will be given to applicants who are pursuing full degrees in San Marcos CISD areas of greatest need. Tuition reimbursement will occur only after the awardee completes a course with a grade of C or higher and submits proof of course payment. Total monies reimbursed district-wide may not exceed the total amount budgeted.

An eligible staff member MUST:

• be employed full-time with San Marcos CISD
• continue as a full-time employee for 24 months following his/her award
• should the employee separate employment before the 24 months following the award, then monies will have to be recouped on the final check or staff may submit a check to the district directly.
