Does your employer help you pay for school?
Our Employer Tuition Reimbursement program makes it easy for your employer to help
you pay for school. If your employer offers tuition assistance, make sure to take
full advantage at Ferris!
Students who qualify for the Ferris ETR program will have their tuition deferred until
30 days after grades post for each semester.
The ETR application for Summer 2021 will open on April 22, 2021.
