Tuition Assistance Opportunity for SF State Extended Learning Students - Spring 2012

This program is now complete for spring 2012. All funds have been granted. Thank you for your interest. Please check back in fall 2012.

As part of our commitment to assist in your professional development, we are offering an opportunity for a one-time tuition discount on one class this spring. The offer is limited to specific programs, for courses beginning no earlier than January 23 and ending no later than May 19, 2012.

Please read the details below to see if the program you are interested in is eligible for this offer. All requests must be submitted by February 10 for any class during the semester. Requests must be received by five (5) business days before the beginning of the class you wish to take. For example, if you are interested in a class that begins on January 23, you would need to submit a Tuition Assistance Request for approval at least a week before that date. If you are approved for tuition assistance, the balance of the class fees must be paid in full before the beginning of the class.
