Employer Tuition Reimbursement and
External Scholarship Programs for Undergraduate and Graduate
Studies
This guide is to assist students who receive tuition
reimbursement from their employer or who receive external
scholarships.
St. John’s University encourages all
students who are entitled to tuition reimbursement from their
employer or who are receiving external scholarships to follow the
simple steps outlined below:
- Register for courses.
- Submit a signed letter on company/scholarship letterhead
stating exactly what the employer/scholarship organization will pay
(i.e. tuition, tuition and fees, etc.). The letter must specify
your name, social security number and the semester being covered.
The letter should be submitted prior to the issuance of your
tuition bill.
- The dollar amount provided by your employer/scholarship
organization will be deducted from your tuition bill.
- Mail in the top portion of the bill with a check or money order
for the remaining amount due in order to complete the registration
process. If the amount is zero, the top portion of the bill must
still be mailed to complete the registration process and secure
your classes.
- A “paid” receipt will be sent to you by the Office of Student
Financial Services showing your class schedule.
Note: If you wish to submit a letter from your
employer/scholarship organization after the issuance of your
tuition bill, you must see Mary Verrone in the Office of Student
Financial Services on the Queens campus, or Theresa Cantarella in
the Office of Student Financial Services on the Staten Island
campus to have the dollar amount deducted from your bill. You must
then complete registration.
- If your employer/scholarship organization requests that we bill
them, we do so once the semester has started. It is your
responsibility to ensure that payment is received by St. John’s
University.
- If your employer/scholarship organization reimburses you after
the semester is completed, it is your responsibility to submit your
grades and any necessary paperwork as soon as the semester is over
in order to ensure that reimbursement is promptly received. Checks
or money orders should be made payable to St. John’s University and
submitted to Mary Verrone in the Office of Student Financial
Services on the Queens campus. Both Queens and Staten Island
students should submit payment directly to Mary Verrone.
If payment is not received for the
semester below by the indicated date, your credit will be
canceled:
Fall: February 28
Spring: June 30
Summer: October 1
AFTER TWO LATE PAYMENTS, NO FUTURE COMPANY LETTERS WILL BE
ACCEPTED.
Note: If you drop courses during a semester, you are
immediately responsible for all charges relating to this drop. In
these cases, payment should be made directly to the Office of
Student Financial Services.
***IMPORTANT***
In conjunction with company reimbursement/external scholarships,
your University funds may be adjusted. These procedures
must be adhered to each semester. A new letter from your
employer/scholarship organization is required each semester/summer
session.
