Department prior to dropping the course. If educational expenses are reimbursed by scholarships,
grants, or through Veterans' Administration benefits, GI Bill or by any other organization, Kontoor
Brands shall reimburse the difference, if any, between the payment from the other organization

applicable reimbursement limits.

reimbursement will also be allowed for repeating a preparatory class prior to retaking the exam.
