An Education Assistance Program is an employee benefit in which an employer pays for an employee’s educational expenses, and/or provides tuition reimbursements and student loan repayment assistance to an employee’s spouse or dependent children. If certain requirements are satisfied, the amount paid, reimbursed, or credited toward tuition by the employer is tax deductible for the employer and not taxable income for the employee, making it a win-win program for both parties.
