Instructor Benefits
老司机福利网 invests generously in the development of its faculty; this generosity extends to 1818 Program instructors.
The primary benefit of being an 1818 Program partner with SLU is the ability to offer highly motivated, high-achieving students the opportunity to earn transferrable college credit from a well-respected national research university while still in high school.
In addition, the benefits for partner high schools and teachers as SLU adjunct faculty in the 1818 Program include the following:
- Limited scholarships for graduate education at SLU: Up to six graduate credit hours per academic year (for individual courses or full degree programs).
- Limited reimbursement of tuition paid for graduate education at other colleges and universities: Up to six graduate credit hours per academic year (for individual courses or full degree programs). Per-course and academic year award maximums apply.
- Access to 老司机福利网鈥檚 educational resources including University libraries and research databases, software, etc.
- Annual discipline-specific professional development.
- Program awards as recognition for excellence and service.
- Discipline-specific mentorship from SLU adjunct professors.
- Support from and collaboration with an expansive network of other 1818 Program partners.
- A nominal annual honorarium in acknowledgement of the additional work that may be presented by participation in our program.
As an 1818 Program instructor, you will be part of a supportive community dedicated to fostering academic excellence and providing enriching opportunities for both students and educators.
Instructor Scholarships
老司机福利网 offers scholarships to 1818 instructors continuing their education at SLU.
Scholarship funds can only be used if the Partner school is offering 1818 Program courses in the academic year in which the scholarships are provided. Additionally, participating faculty must be approved 1818 Program faculty and be teaching at least one 1818 Program course in each academic year for which the scholarship is provided.
- Note: As SLU focuses its limited resources on improved teaching and learning in 1818 courses, scholarships for 1818 Program Coordinators and other administrators at Partner high schools have been discontinued. Exceptions for those currently enrolled in SLU graduate programs, or who have been granted past SLU scholarships, have been developed and will be shared upon request.
Additionally, courses eligible for scholarships must be focused on the disciplinary or interdisciplinary academic content of the 1818 course(s) the 1818 instructor has been approved to offer. Typically these are courses offered as part of established master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees in the specific discipline/interdisciplinary area.
Courses in related disciplines, and courses focused specifically on the teaching of the disciplinary/ interdisciplinary academic content of the respective 1818 course(s), may be considered per the discretion of the appropriate SLU academic department.
Courses focused on curriculum and instruction generally (or on broad C&I categories such as 鈥渉umanities鈥� or 鈥渟ocial sciences鈥�), and courses in educational administration/leadership, are not eligible for reimbursement.
Eligible participants may be awarded tuition scholarships that fund the SLU tuition for up to six graduate credits in the academic year.
Scholarship applications must be submitted before the start of the term according to the following deadlines:
- Fall terms: Sept. 1
- Spring terms: Dec. 1
- Summer terms: May 1
No scholarships will be awarded for applications submitted after these deadlines.
If a scholarship is awarded, 1818 Partner constituents may apply for admission to SLU as either degree/certificate seeking or non-degree seeking (鈥渦nclassified鈥�) students. The application process and admission requirements for eligible 1818 Partner constituents are no different than for all other prospective SLU students.

Tuition Reimbursement
老司机福利网 offers limited tuition reimbursement opportunities for 1818 faculty continuing their education at other colleges and universities.
Tuition reimbursement is available to approved 1818 Program faculty at Partner schools offering 1818 Program courses in the academic year in which the reimbursement is requested. Additionally, participating faculty must be approved 1818 Program faculty and be teaching at least one 1818 Program course in each academic year for which the tuition reimbursement is requested.
Additionally, courses eligible for tuition reimbursement must be focused on the disciplinary or interdisciplinary academic content of the 1818 course(s) the 1818 instructor has been approved to offer. Typically these are courses offered as part of established master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees in the specific discipline/interdisciplinary area.
Courses in related disciplines, and courses focused specifically on the teaching of the disciplinary/ interdisciplinary academic content of the respective 1818 course(s), may be considered per the discretion of the appropriate SLU academic department.
Courses focused on curriculum and instruction generally (or on broad C&I categories such as 鈥渉umanities鈥� or 鈥渟ocial sciences鈥�), and courses in educational administration/leadership, are not eligible for reimbursement.
Eligible participants may receive tuition reimbursement for a maximum of six graduate-level credits for the academic year.
Additionally, tuition reimbursement is capped at a maximum of $1,500 per course and a maximum of $4,500 in 2021-2022 (this limit will be $3,000 in 2022-2023 and beyond). Participants are responsible for all applicable fees associated with their enrollment.
As noted above, not all courses will be approved for tuition reimbursement; you should not assume approval until it is formally granted in writing. Requests for tuition reimbursement must be made per the following deadlines:
- Fall terms: Sept. 1
- Spring terms: Dec. 1
- Summer terms: May 1
In order to qualify for reimbursement, all relevant documentation must be submitted to the 1818 Program Office within 90 days of the conclusion of the class. Individuals who do not submit documentation within 90 days will not be reimbursed.
Approved reimbursements from SLU occur after the non-SLU course has been paid for, and after receipt by SLU of an official transcript documenting that the course was successfully completed.
Accordingly, SLU requires those approved for reimbursement to submit:
- an invoice from the offering institution documenting the tuition charged and any related fees charged (fees will not be reimbursed)
- evidence of the course having been paid for (that specifically excludes evidence that the course was paid for via any form of loan)
- an official transcript documenting the successful completion of the course(s)
All recipients of SLU tuition reimbursement should be aware that the dollar value of the tuition reimbursement may be considered taxable income per the Internal Revenue Service. The University is not obliged to nor shall withhold taxes from this award. Please consult a tax advisor/attorney for details.
