The REEP Summer Institute tuition is USD$6,000 for Houston Area Educators. Please note that the full cost of the program is USD$10,000 but thanks to a generous grant from the Houston Endowment, REEP is able to offer a USD$4,000 scholarship to Houston Area Educators. The tuition cost is USD$10,000 for Non-Houston Area Educators.
Many REEP professional students are sponsored financially to some extent by their school districts. Check with your employer about tuition reimbursement, financial aid and education benefits programs.
The REEP Scholarship Program was created to allow talented educators the opportunity to obtain a well-recognized business certificate and advanced school leadership training in a world-class Graduate Business School, while exercising leadership in the education field.
As it was Jesse and Mary Jones who established the Houston Endowment in 1937 to improve life for the people of the greater Houston area, we believe that REEP is a fitting extension of the Jones’ mission, housed at the Jones Graduate School of Business.
