Purpose

Policy

Mid Michigan College (MID) has established the Tuition Grant Fund (TGF) for MID and Edustaff Adjunct Instructors (includes credit, non-credit & concurrent enrollment instructors), and for Mid and Edustaff employees in Permanent Part-Time positions (as outlined below) directly employed by or assigned to Mid Michigan College. 

MID and Edustaff employees working at Mid Michigan College in either an adjunct or permanent part-time capacity may apply for the tuition grant for themselves or on behalf of their spouse and/or IRS dependent children for tuition costs and fees, except Student Activities Fees, for up to six (6) credit hours per semester. The MID or Edustaff employee must be assigned to and working at or in a program or department for MID during the semester in which the tuition grant is applied. In the event an employee/dependent elects to enroll in a travel course under the tuition grant program, the College shall pay tuition credit hour cost only. The cost of travel, lodging, meals, fees, and other expenses shall be the responsibility of the employee/dependent. 

MID and Edustaff part-time employees, spouse and/or IRS dependent children can receive tuition funds up to a maximum of 62 credit hours.
