Tuition Reimbursement Program Guidelines

---

This program offers licensed teachers and full-time educational support staff seeking licensure or continuing their education up to $2,000 per semester within the fiscal school year (July 1 - June 30) for eligible tuition reimbursement.

To qualify, you must be classified as full-time and eligible for benefits. Additionally, the coursework or professional certifications you pursue must be directly related to your position with Newport News Public Schools (NNPS) and completed through an accredited college or university.

Reimbursement Requirements

• Proof of Completion: Reimbursement will only be processed upon providing proof of a "C" or better grade, a "P" (pass/fail) grade, or a passing test score.
• Submission Deadline: You must submit proof of tuition payment and evidence of a passing grade/test score within 30 days of the course's completion. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of your reimbursement.
• Funding Availability: All tuition reimbursement payments are contingent upon the availability of funds and are not considered final until all required documents have been submitted.

Specific Reimbursement Requests

• VCLA or Praxis Exams: If you're requesting reimbursement for VCLA or Praxis exams, please include the test name, test number, test cost, and test date in the corresponding fields on the form.
• Multiple Courses: For more than one course, please submit a separate request for each course.
• iTeach Reimbursements: iTeach reimbursements must be submitted before you begin the program.

Important Reminders

• Changes to Requests: If you need to change an existing request (e.g., drop a class, change course dates), do not submit a new request. Instead, email [email protected] with the specific changes needed.
• Submission Deadline for Form: Employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form at least one week before the course start date.
