MCCS encourages employees to try to improve themselves through higher education.  Therefore, we offer a Tuition Assistance Program to all MCCS employees (except contractors) under the following conditions:

• Courses – Off-duty, courses/programs/tests related to present duties or planned/likely future assignments taken at or through fully accredited colleges, universities or vocational programs.  This includes CLEP and DANTES tests.  Most general education requirements are covered.  This does not include high school classes.
• Assistance Offered – Up to $10,000 per NAF fiscal year to cover the cost of tuition and associate fees (i.e. lab fees, resource fees, etc.). 
• Grades – Employees must attain a grade of “C” or better, or equivalent passing score.
• Agreement – The employee must obtain a grade of “C” or better, or equivalent passing score.  Upon completion of the funded program the following employment commitments must be met:

Leaving employment with MCCS before the employment commitment has been fulfilled or failing to obtain a passing score will require reimbursement of the tuition to MCCS, which may include payroll deduction.
