CWA 1180 Tuition Payment Program

Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 1180 was one amongst three unions that founded the School of Labor and Urban Studies (SLU). Our longstanding relationship has offered higher education opportunities to several hundred CWA 1180 members each year. CWA Local 1180’s Tuition Payment Program sponsors 30 credits for eligible members seeking an undergraduate degree or certificate and an additional 30 credits (effective 1/1/23) for eligible members seeking a graduate degree or certificate. Tuition and registration fee payments are made for up to two (2) courses each semester in either Labor or Urban Studies.

Education Fund

Ed Fund Participants must submit a Tuition Voucher Request for each semester they require SLU to invoice CWA Local 1180 for their tuition costs. We recommend bookmarking this page for easy access as you will have to return to complete the Tuition Voucher Request for your next semester’s enrollment. 

Tuition Voucher Request open prior to the new semester and typically close once the enrollment period ends. CWA 1180 members who do not submit a Tuition Voucher Request for review and approval will generally be responsible for their tuition, as the Education Fund will not cover the cost.

Members are encouraged to contact the Education Fund for further information.

Financial and Academic Accountability: The CWA Local 1180 Education Fund will cancel tuition payments if the participant: Drops or withdraws from courses, fails to meet the minimum grade requirements, does not complete assigned Community Service Projects (CSP), or was not an active Education Fund participant or employed in a qualified title as of the first official day of the semester. CWA Local 1180 reserves the right to deny or cancel tuition payments for any reason, including but not limited to providing false information, academic dishonesty, misconduct, or other violations of policies and regulations. If the Education Fund denies a Voucher Request, for whatever reason, the student will be responsible for resolving their balance by other means. Additionally, all SLU students remain financially responsible for any courses dropped on or after the first official day of the semester.
