The tuition assistance program has been growing rapidly each semester. As we progress, we learn more over time and are able to refine processes. With the tuition assistance policy updates effective Spring 2025, the application process has been updated by the Total Rewards team effective with applications for the 2025 Spring semester. 

These changes are designed to aid applicants, by better defining the expectations of the program and making the applicaiton process easier. As questions and circumstances have arisen in previous semesters, we continue to update both the application process and guidelines to clarify or aid applicants in understanding the program and program policies.  

The semester deadlines for tuition assistance are driven by financial aid deadlines, and processing timelines, therefore late applications will be automatically denied. There will be no exception to this policy.

No, the semester application deadlines still apply. While there is no wait period for employees to request tuition assistance, applicants must be employed in an eligible position at the time of application. Additionally, to ensure proper distribution of award funds if approved, applicants should be accepted to and enrolled in an eligible program prior to application.

Notifications of award status for a given term are typically sent within one month of the application deadline for the term.

These notifications are sent to the email address of the student requesting assistance, not the employee. If an applicant is a dependent or spouse requesting assistance, they should check the email address on file in their student record for their award notification.

If the notification has not been received and the deadline was greater than one month ago, please contact TuitionAssistance@wichita.edu.

At the time of application, the employee (and the spouse or dependent, as applicable) will receive an email confirmation to the email addresses submitted on the application. The confirmation will advise whether a completed application was successful, and the student will be advised of their preliminary approval status.

Formal notification of award status for a given term is made by email to the student for whom the award has been requested. This is typically sent within one month after the application deadline for the term. If it is not currently one month past the deadline, please understand that applications are being processed.

Dependent and Spouse tuition assistance does require that the student be admitted into a degree seeking program.
