Tuition reimbursement is an employee benefit through which an employer pays for a pre-determined amount of continuing education credits or college coursework to be applied toward a degree.

I began pursuing this degree at 48 after being out of school for 26 years. My mother was placed in hospice care the week before I began school last spring. I was very involved with her care and thought I was going to have to give up going back to school. My professors were incredibly supportive during this difficult time.
Working full-time, I was looking for a local university, who offered online, affordable classes and was close enough to experience on-campus events. GSW checked all my requirements. I enjoy driving to campus and experiencing musicals, sporting events, and other student activities that GSW offers.
I want anyone who has ever failed in his or her life (and honestly, that's all of us at some point) to know it's never too late to rise up in the face of hard challenges and adversity. And you're never too old to dream and achieve.
