1. The State Treasurer, in coordination with the Department of Education, shall establish by regulation a program to provide reimbursement for tuition charges, registration fees, laboratory fees and any other mandatory fees paid to an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education by a person who:

(a)Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, has completed a Teacher Academy College Pathway Program offered pursuant to NRS 388.223 ;

(b)Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, has worked as a full-time, licensed teacher at a public school in this State for at least 3 consecutive school years;

(d)Has successfully completed a program at an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education for the preparation of a person to become a licensed teacher.

2. The program may not provide reimbursement for any tuition charge, registration fee, laboratory fee or any other mandatory fee which was paid or otherwise provided for through a scholarship, financial aid, waiver or similar financial assistance. For the purposes of this subsection, a student education loan, as defined in NRS 226.510 , must not be considered financial aid or financial assistance.

3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the State Treasurer may provide partial reimbursement of tuition charges, registration fees, laboratory fees and any other mandatory fees paid by a person who satisfies the criteria set forth in paragraphs (a),

(c)and

(d)of subsection 1 and who has worked as a full-time, licensed teacher at a public school in this State for 1 year or 2 consecutive years in an amount not to exceed, for each year of service at a public school in this State, one-third of the total tuition charges, registration fees, laboratory fees and any other mandatory fees paid by the person to an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education which are subject to reimbursement pursuant to this section and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

4. If a person has not completed a Teacher Academy College Pathway Program offered pursuant to NRS 388.223 because of circumstances beyond the control of that person, including, without limitation, because the person attended a high school that did not offer a Program, but the person satisfies the criteria set forth in paragraph

(c)and

(d)of subsection 1, the State Treasurer may, upon the submission of an application by that person, provide:

(a)Reimbursement for tuition charges, registration fees, laboratory fees and any other mandatory fees paid to an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education by the person if the person has worked as a full-time, licensed teacher at a public school in this State for at least 3 consecutive years.

(b)Partial reimbursement for tuition charges, registration fees, laboratory fees and any other mandatory fees paid to an institution within the Nevada System of Higher Education, in the amount described in subsection 3, if the person has worked as a full-time, licensed teacher at a public school in this State for 1 year or 2 consecutive years.
