Tuition Remission/Grant-In-Aid
Fairfield University encourages continued learning and reflection among our employees. Taking advantage of classes offered here on our campus is a great way to do so. To assist, the University offers a tuition benefit to full-time employees, their spouses and children. Regular part-time employees who work a minimum of 1,000 hours per year, are eligible at a prorated rate.
