Fifty percent (50%) of the tuition costs up to a maximum of $2000 for undergraduate level courses, $2500 for graduate level courses and $3000 for doctoral level courses will be reimbursed. Teachers may also use the fund as reimbursement for successfully passing the Praxis exams in their area of certification.
