The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Tuition Assistance Program (Â鶹ÊÓƵTAP) is a benefit available to regular, Full-Time Â鶹ÊÓƵ employees. It provides tuition assistance for the spouse and dependent child of eligible employees enrolled in classes at Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Click here for more information.
The Employee Education and Training Plan ("The Plan") provides employees of Â鶹ÊÓƵ with assistance in obtaining additional college-level education and training to increase their value to the University. "The Plan" is intended to operate such that payments made under it qualify, in the case of undergraduate classes required in a degree plan, as qualified tuition reduction under Section 117 of the Internal Revenue Code; or, for all other courses, as business expenses for courses related to the employee’s present position, under Section 162 and thus excluded from taxable income under Section 132(d). As such, "The Plan" represents an internal administrative procedure for the Â鶹ÊÓƵ components. It is not intended to operate as a fringe benefit plan under Section 127 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Tuition exemptions are a type of financial assistance that allows for certain Texas residents to attend college or a university in Texas without paying tuition, or in some cases, tuition, and fees. For more information, please contact the student business office at studentbusiness@lamar.edu or visit
