Apply for Education Assistance Starting Oct. 15

Eligible Georgia Tech employees can apply for spring semester tuition assistance Oct. 15 through Nov. 15.  

Full-time faculty and staff have the following options: 

1. Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) provides a tuition waiver to full-time, benefits-eligible employees who have worked for at least six months within the University System of Georgia.  

2. Staff Tuition Reimbursement Assistance Program (STRAP) provides partial tuition reimbursement at any accredited private institution. Georgia Tech employees are eligible for STRAP if they have worked here for at least 12 months.  

Time worked in a temporary position does not count toward the eligibility requirement for either assistance program.  

Application Process 

1. During their designated application dates, apply through the admissions office of the institution you plan to attend. 

2. Open a TAP or STRAP application via the Administrative Services portal. 

3. List the courses you plan to take. If you are not sure, put your best guess. You can reach out via your application request to change it later. 

4. Submit your application. It will automatically route for approval. 

5. Register for classes. 

Please ensure your application is submitted and approved by Nov. 15 at 5 p.m. Applications received after this date cannot be honored. A new application must be completed for each semester by the deadline. If the deadline falls on a holiday or weekend, the business day prior applies.
