Employee Tuition Reduction Program (eTRP)
One of the most valuable benefits the university offers employees is a tuition reduction benefit. Employees, their spouse and eligible dependents can receive reduced tuition at any of the three state universities.
Who is eligible?
- Regular fulltime benefit eligible employees
- Official NAU retirees
- Former employees receiving long term disability benefits with five years of continuous service.
- Designated affiliates
- Spouses and dependents of deceased employees may also be eligible for the benefit.
Spouse and Dependent Children
Your legally recognized spouse is eligible for the benefit. For your dependent child to be eligible they must:
- meet the definition of “child” as defined under IRS §152(f)(1)
- be your dependent for tax purposes.
- You will be asked to complete an affidavit confirming your child’s eligibility.
Review the dependent eligibility questions to determine if your child is eligible.
