Deferred Payment

Gettysburg College offers a deferred payment agreement for eligible teachers enrolled in Education Design and Equity M.Ed. program whose tuition costs will be reimbursed by their employer. This agreement allows those teachers to defer payment and avoid paying the tuition upfront. The reimbursable course costs may be paid after a course has been successfully completed and final grades have been awarded.

To qualify for the deferred payment, enrolled teachers must submit a letter from their employer confirming their eligibility for tuition reimbursement benefits.

Applicants should provide a brief letter on district letterhead describing your district’s tuition reimbursement procedures for teachers enrolled in graduate coursework. Specifically, your letter should:

• Confirm that the teacher enrolled in our program is eligible for tuition reimbursement.
• Identify the percentage of tuition covered and any maximum or annual limits.
• Articulate any additional conditions, restrictions, or requirements relevant to reimbursement.
• Submit the letter via email to studentaccounts@gettysburg.edu

For any teacher with this eligibility confirmation letter on file, the reimbursable portion of their course payment will not be due until one month after the issuance of final course grades. At that time, Gettysburg College will accept payment either directly from the sponsoring school district or from the enrolled teacher.

Please note that enrolled students are still responsible to pay any non-reimbursable portion of the tuition by the given due date prior to the start of the course.
