About Us

Employee Scholar Program

UTC Fire & Security believes in investing in the future of its employees. And the best way to do that is by giving them the education they can use for a lifetime. Under the Employee Scholar Program, UTC pays costs for employees, both in the United States and internationally, who go back to school. That includes 100 percent of registration and tuition at schools that satisfy the Employee Scholar Program requirements, required academic fees and course-required books. 

A Degree in any Field

Employees can obtain a degree in any field, whether or not it's job-related. Be it a bachelor's degree in art or a graduate degree in physics, students can receive up to 50 percent of the total credit hours for all courses taken in an academic period as paid time off for studying, to a maximum of three hours per week. 

Rewards for Graduation

UTC further rewards its Employee Scholars when they graduate. Upon completion of a qualifying bachelor's or graduate degree, U.S.-based employees will receive an award of UTC stock. UTC understands that the cost of this educational program is a sound investment. Stock awards made outside the United States are subject to additional rules.
