The DSSR education allowance reimburses U.S. government civilian employees for the cost of educating dependent children in kindergarten through grade 12 while stationed at Cameroon - Other. The State Department publishes an annual per-child maximum for each grade — the rates shown here are the at post maximums, which cover tuition and required fees at an adequate school serving the post. Away-from-post (boarding) and home-study rates apply where an adequate school is not available locally. Mobility, HR and payroll teams use these ceilings to budget dependent-education costs and set education grants.
