C. 20548 FILE: B-221019 DATE: April 7, 1986 MATTER OF: National Security Agency - Overseas Employee - Educational Travel DIGEST: An overseas employee is entitled to reimbursement for the educational travel expenses of his dependent because the definition of college education in section 281c of the Standardized Regulations (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas), which implements 5 U.S.C. S 5924 (1982), is sufficiently broad to include a specialized school offering a 3-year program in marine engineering whose graduates receive a diploma certifying to their proficiency in marine engineering, as well as qualifying them for a commission in the Merchant Marine Naval Reserve. We have been asked by a Finance and Accounting Officer to determine whether a National Security Agency employee stationed overseas may properly be reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with his dependent's travel to the Maryland campus of the Calhoon M.E.B.A. Engineering School from the employee's overseas field station. We find that the employee may be reimbursed for the educational travel expenses of his dependent pursuant to 5 U.S.C. S 5924(4)(B) (1982), and its implementing regulations, Standarized Regulations (Government Civilians, Foreign Areas). The employee and his dependent were transferred to one of the National Security Agency's overseas field stations. Subsequent to the transfer, the dependent returned to Maryland to commence his second year as a student at the Calhoon M.E.B.A. Engineering School (Calhoon Engineering). The employee sought reimbursement for his dependent's travel expenses to Maryland. However, the employee was denied reimbursement on the grounds that the curriculum offered by Calhoon Engineering did not qualify as college education as defined in section 281c of the Standardized Regulations.
