Paying for College

We partner with businesses to help provide competitive benefits packages to their employees.

Utilizing employee tuition programs is a fantastic opportunity for employees to enhance their skills and career growth. With employer-paid tuition programs, employees can upskill and reskill, becoming more competent and productive. When employees take advantage of employer-paid tuition programs, they not only contribute to a more competent workforce but also build a sense of confidence in their professional growth within their company. Overall, an employee tuition program is a win-win for both employees and your employers.

Most employer-paid tuition programs require employees to notify their Human Resource (HR) department or complete an internal registration. If your employer is on the list below, see how you can take advantage of these benefits. Once your employer’s application is submitted and your employer’s HR office is verifying your information, you can enroll in classes at Montgomery County Community College.

Montgomery County's Employee Two for One Tuition Program

Employees of Montgomery County and their spouses, domestic partners and dependents (dependents up to 26 years of age) are eligible for a two-for-one tuition program at Montgomery County Community College. For every course paid in full, both in-class or online, students will receive a tuition waiver for 1 additional course of equal or lesser credit value for that semester.

To be eligible, potential students must be employees of the county. A good “rule of thumb” is that if the employee has an “@montgomerycountypa.gov” e-mail, then they would qualify for this resource. This includes county administration, veterans’ affairs, health and human services, child welfare, parks, judicial and law enforcement (e.g. Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, however unfortunately municipal police departments are entities of municipalities, not the county).

Classes must be taken during the same semester. Classes may be taken by separate individuals provided they meet the above relationship guidelines.

  • Step One: Apply to the College
  • Step Two: To earn a degree or a certificate, go through the New Student Checklist
  • Step Three: Seek approval from your supervisor and HR department. All final determinations on eligibility are made by the Montgomery County Human Resources Department or Chief Operating Officer.
  • Step Four: Submit your approval to enrollmentservices@poscoop.com so the tuition is removed from your bill.
