Tuition Reimbursement Program
Thanks to a generous grant from the Houston Endowment, REEP is able to offer its students up to full tuition reimbursement if they take on leadership roles in Houston-area public schools. The Tuition Reimbursement Program (TRP) was created to allow talented educators the opportunity to complete a rigorous MBA degree or advanced business training, 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 School of Business.
