FSIS CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM: COLLEGE TUITION REIMBURSEMENT OPEN TO ALL EMPLOYEES BEGINNING FALL 2022 SEMESTER ENROLLMENT

The Continuing Education Program (CEP) will be open to all FSIS employees beginning Fall 2022 Semester. Participants are to be permanent, full-time employees with a minimum of 1 year of service with FSIS at the time of application, and in good standing. All eligible employees may qualify for up to $5,000 per fiscal year (FY) in tuition reimbursement towards graduate or undergraduate college courses from accredited colleges or universities. Each FY, there will be opportunities to apply for reimbursement by submitting a CEP Application and Approval Form (FSIS Form 4410-25) with proof of enrollment during the CEP semester registration periods. The start date(s) of the college course(s) determines which semester registration period to submit the application.

Employees can obtain the CEP Application and Approval Form (FSIS Form 4410-25) from Help Resources at: IPP Help (https://fsishelp.fsis.usda.gov/ipphelp/cep/csicep/csicep.htm); Employee Help (https://fsishelp.fsis.usda.gov/res/ecep/); or via E-mail: ContinuingEducationProgram@usda.gov.
