The University System of Georgia has established an educational assistance program called the Tuition Assistance Program. The purpose for TAP is to foster the professional growth and development of its eligible employees.
The Tuition Assistance Program Application deadline for Spring 2025 is Friday, Nov. 15, 2024. TAP will waive up to nine (9) credit hours for the semester. Please visit the USG's TAP webpage at https://benefits.usg.edu/work-life/tuition-assistance-program to locate the systemwide TAP Application, Graduate Student Tax Waiver Form (for graduate students only) and to reference the TAP Policy and FAQ if needed.
Reminder: Graduate students may be required to submit a Graduate Student Tax Waiver Form with their TAP Application each semester, meaning a total of two forms may be required for all graduate students. The USG has stated that it is a suggested best practice for all graduate students to submit the Graduate Tax Waiver Form each semester with their TAP Application.
Employee ID# vs. Student ID#
The USG has specifically requested that institutions remind all TAP applicants that there are two required IDs located at the top of the TAP Application - an employee ID# and a student ID#. These fields cannot be left blank. If TAP Applications and/or Graduate Tax Waivers are submitted with missing or incorrect information, they will be returned to the applicant for correction.
Email completed TAP applications and Graduate Tax Waiver Forms (if applicable) to [email protected] by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, 2024, for spring 2025 consideration.
