Employee Awards Program

The Heart of America GCSA offers an Employee Award Program to those
who are full-time employees and also taking turfgrass classes at the same
time.  This program is designed to help offset some of the cost for these
students.
 

The following criteria must be met to be eligible:

Text Box:  
 

You must:

  • Be a current full-time employee of a Heart of America GCSA member now and when eligible class(es) were taken.

  • Have worked 1,800 hours within the current calendar year for a HAGCSA club/organization.

  • Be a part-time student carrying 11 credit hours or less.

To be Eligible:

  • Transcripts and proof of payment must accompany application.

  • All applications must be complete and have the necessary signatures – no exceptions.

Need to Know:

  • Out-of-District residences will receive in-state rate tuition reimbursement.
    (Instate rate x number of hours or $1,500.  The lesser of the two.)

  • This is an Award, NOT a total reimbursement or scholarship.

  • Awards are for tuition costs only. 

  • To enable HAGCSA in helping as many employees as possible, please do not apply for an award
                                          if your club reimburses educational expenses.

  • Deadline for applications is January 31, 2009
