Eligibility:
Full-time faculty and staff members living and working outside the Baltimore or Washington metropolitan areas become eligible for this benefit 90 days after full-time employment begins.

Reimbursement is for 100% of tuition and mandatory fees for courses approved by the faculty or staff member's supervisor or department head. Reimbursement is for the value of part-time study not to exceed $5,250 in a calendar year (January 1 - December 31). The Tuition Reimbursement Plan applies only to courses taken for academic credit at a degree-granting college/university, outside Johns Hopkins University.
