The Colleges of Worcester Consortium facilitates a Tuition Waiver Program at member institutions for teachers* in the following school systems:
*This program does not apply to administration or staff. It DOES include anyone with a full-time teacher contract from eligible schools who is working with students. This program is for fall and spring semesters only at Consortium colleges.
Each teacher applicant should contact the college directly to determine the course and course number for which he/she would like to register. Each teacher should fill out the online request form and submit it by Friday, August 15, 2008.
All requests will be forwarded to the appropriate college for approval on August 18. Teachers will be notified by the Consortium via e-mail, phone or U.S. mail as soon as each college determines which vouchers will be awarded. Vouchers are granted based upon space availability in a course. Preference will be given to teachers who have not participated in this program in the past and are not enrolled in a graduate program at a Consortium institution.
Please note that vouchers waive tuition costs only. Students awarded vouchers will have to pay appropriate fees (parking permit, registration fee, etc.) which vary by college. For more information about fees, contact the Registrar's Office at the college you want to attend.
Before you submit the Tuition Waiver Application for Fall 2008 (available May 15, 2008), you will need to have at hand the course number, days, times and the instructor's name. You will also need a login and password, which you can get from your principal (after May 15).
