If the entire cost of tuition, books and fees aren’t covered by the benefit, you may be able to obtain financial aid to cover the difference.

Be sure to include any employer tuition assistance as part of your financial aid application since it may reduce or limit your aid.

Confirm that there’s an alliance agreement between your employer and University of Phoenix that includes tuition benefits. If there is, you’ll be able to review the benefits that your employer offers before you enroll at University of Phoenix.

Reach out to your employer’s HR department. Let them know that you want to enroll and use your organization’s tuition benefits.

It depends on your employer. In general, eligibility for employer educational assistance is dependent on criteria your employer sets.

For instance, you may be eligible based on the program and number of credit hours you take within an academic year. Whether you want to enroll in undergraduate or graduate degrees, or certificate programs can also impact eligibility.

You may also be required to be a full-time employee. Check with your company’s HR department.
