As an MSU benefits-eligible support staff employee, you have\naccess to Educational Assistance. This benefit offers financial assistance\ntowards your professional development after you\u2019ve worked at MSU for an\nequivalent of 12 full-time service months. If you work less than full-time, the\nbenefit is prorated based on your employment percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may receive up to $900 per year to use towards registration costs for a variety of non-credit learning opportunities, including trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences and courses. You will need to submit an Educational Assistance application to request financial assistance. You can access the Educational Assistance application in the EBS Portal<\/a> under the My Career and Training tab. The learning opportunity must be considered job-related and from an approved institution\/program to be approved for financial assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to upload two documents to your Educational\nAssistance application to receive reimbursement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Proof of Payment:<\/strong> The registration\ncosts will need to be paid up front by either you or your department before you\nreceive reimbursement. Make sure to submit proof of payment that clearly shows\nwhether you or your department should be receiving the reimbursement. If you\npaid for the learning opportunity, you should upload a receipt that clearly\nshows you paid. If your department paid, you will need to obtain either the\nprocurement card statement or the department operating statement (this would\ndepend on the method of payment that was used) from your department\u2019s fiscal\nofficer. <\/li>
  2. Proof of Attendance\/Completion:<\/strong> There\nare a variety of documents that you can upload for proof of attendance,\nincluding a certificate of completion, formal email\/letter of congratulations\nfor completing or attending the learning opportunity, or confirmation of your\nregistration if no other documentation was issued\/provided.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    PLEASE NOTE<\/strong>: Courses that you register for through the Courses for MSU Employees application in the EBS portal, such as Organization and Professional Development courses<\/a> or MSU IT courses, do not require an Educational Assistance application. For these courses, you just need to select Educational Assistance as your form of payment when you register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Educational Assistance benefit also offers financial assistance for credit courses, which you can learn more about in this previous blog post<\/a>.
