Tuition savings and flexible programs advance career-relevant skills

Supporting adult learners is central to the mission of University of Maryland Global Campus (ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï), including those serving in the federal workforce. Through the Federal Education and Development (FED) Program, eligible federal employees, as well as their spouses and dependents, may receive up to a 25 percent tuition discount on ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï undergraduate and graduate programs. 

“ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï is committed to assisting federal employees with flexible, affordable programs that align with their professional responsibilities and career goals,â€� said Justin Hasty, director of strategic partnerships at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï. “By supporting continued learning among federal employees, we help agencies close critical skills gaps, strengthen mission delivery, and better serve the public.â€�

Over the past 11 years, more than 5,000 learners have participated in the FED Program, benefiting from more than $12 million in cumulative tuition savings.

Like many adult learners, federal employees balance professional responsibilities with ongoing education; ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï designs its academic programs with that reality in mind. Coursework is offered online, schedules are flexible, and instruction focuses on in-demand skills learners can apply directly to their roles.
