Tuition Reimbursement

The City of Grand Prairie seeks to improve city services by encouraging upward mobility and employee development and excellence of performance by sharing costs of approved courses and education programs through a tuition reimbursement program.

All full-time employees who have completed six months of full-time employment are eligible to participate in this program.

The city will reimburse courses that are 1) directly related to the duties of the employee’s position; 2) required by a degree plan related to a city career field; or 3) required by an accredited trade school course of study related to a city career field.

All classes must be taken on employee's own time.

Educational expense reimbursements are limited to a maximum of $1,500 per employee per fiscal year for under graduate classes and $1,800 per employee per fiscal year for graduate level classes.
