Education that works for you and your career.

Advance your education without pausing your career. Through graduate programs that can be flexible, part-time, and even online—and a minimum 30% tuition discount—RIT’s Corporate Sponsorship helps working professionals and their employers move forward, together.

Your Career, Your Schedule


Earn While You Learn

Choose from online or on-campus options to fit the demanding schedule of a working professional. Continue to earn your paycheck while earning professional development.


Tuition Savings

Graduate students receive a minimum 30% tuition discount (40%+ for online programs) prior to the application of corporate HR funding, ensuring a high-quality RIT education remains affordable.


Simplified Billing

Through RIT’s Employer Sponsored Tuition Plan (ESTP), payments are due at the end of the term, streamlining tuition reimbursement for you and your HR department.

Funding

"minimum 30% tuition discount"

Don’t have a corporate sponsor? Our Master Up program ensures a high-quality RIT education is within reach for everyone. Corporately sponsored students and independent applicants alike receive a minimum 30% tuition discount. Our online programs are already at a reduced tuition rate of 43%.


How does funding work for you and your company? 

RIT billing is due at the beginning of the semester. RIT Corporate Sponsorship understands that employers who sponsor employees for professional development often wait to reimburse students until grades are distributed at the end of the term. Your company may become certified for delayed billing (Employee Sponsored Tuition Plan), which defers payment to the end of the semester. 

Step 1

You: Gain admission to your desired RIT master’s or advanced certificate program.
Company: Confirm that your company will sponsor you for a minimum of $5,250 per year.

Step 2

You: Complete the ESTP Application for Payment Deferment and submit it to RIT’s Office of Student Financial Services. Only one form needs to be completed for the entire academic year.
Company: Work alongside your HR representative to participate in ESTP. See if your employer is already approved. Looking to join? Share this page with your Benefits Manager.
