Will I have to pay the tuition upfront and receive the reimbursement later?
No, the tuition will be paid at the beginning of each semester by the grant.
What happens if I am offered a leadership position before the 5 years is completed?
If a participant leaves in the middle of a semester, the tuition for only that semester would need to be paid back.
