Fellow Boilermaker,

Purdue Global is pleased to offer our Purdue colleagues an Education Benefit for you and your family members to attend Purdue Global.

In brief, the PG Education Benefit allows all eligible Purdue employees to pursue a degree from Purdue Global, tuition free. This applies to employees at the West Lafayette and all regional campuses, as well as other benefits-eligible employees such as those living around the state and working for Purdue Extension, Purdue Research Foundation and Purdue Alumni Association.

Spouses, children or immediate family members (sons/daughters-in-law, grandchildren and step grandchildren) can do the same and generally receive a 50 percent tuition discount at Purdue Global.

Before you or a family member get started, there are few things you should do and know. First, review the PG Education Benefits Guidelines and the PG Education Benefits Manual located here, which provide more details about the PG Education Benefits and specific tuition discounts by program.

To start, interested Purdue employees and/or their qualified family members must complete an Intake Form. Once that is done, a Purdue Global admissions advisor will call within three (3) days of receiving the Intake Form to discuss the verification process. The verification process will require an electronic acknowledgement from the employee, the employee's Department Head, and verification of eligibility from Purdue Human Resources. Once verification is complete, the admissions advisor will work with the student (employee or family member) to complete the admissions process.

PG Education Benefit participants are strongly encouraged to review the programs and start dates available by program at purdueglobal.edu. Please be aware this is an interim site, until the official launch of Purdue Global on April 2nd, but we felt it important to provide you a link to request more information and review what will become the featured schools, programs, and concentrations offered by Purdue Global.

Please keep in mind, that not all programs are available each term start and admissions advisors can only service students interested in the current cycle/start date, and up to two consecutive start dates out. Generally speaking, this is approximately 60 days. A few other important points and dates to note.

Students (employees and family members) interested in taking advantage of the PG Education Benefits must be enrolled into the program of study 15 days prior to the start of the term.

There is a limit to the number of new enrollments Purdue Global can accept per term under the PG Education Benefits. If the requested term is full, an admissions advisor will advise on the next available term.

Purdue Global will begin accepting Intake Forms on April 2, 2018.

We couldn't be more thrilled or honored to add Purdue Global to the Purdue university system, helping extend Purdue's land-grant mission into the 21st century.

Sincerely,

William E. Sullivan
Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer
