Student Life Staff Degree Rewards Program
Procedure for Student Life Staff Reward for Degree Attainment
Note: this reward is only available to full-time staff in the Division of Student Life.
Educating men and women for worldwide leadership and service is at the core of the Baylor mission. In Student Life, we value professional development and educational opportunities for our staff.
At the University, eligible staff receive 100% tuition remission on Bachelor and Master level courses at Baylor (up to two courses per semester). Tuition reimbursement is also available, under certain conditions, for job-related courses taken through another university.
In Student Life, we want to acknowledge those who successfully attain a degree while working full-time. This is an important milestone that should be recognized and celebrated.
The following procedure is for the purpose of encouraging professional development and personal growth as well as to retain staff and support learning opportunities within the Division of Student Life at Baylor.
Student Life staff who hold full-time, permanent employment status with the University are eligible, based on the following requirements, for a one-time stipend upon the attainment of a degree from an accredited college or university. (Temporary and part-time staff are ineligible for this reward.)
