Tuition Assistance
Offering tuition assistance is one way we support team members who want to continue their education through voluntary, off-the-job instruction.
Tuition Assistance Amounts
Degree | Full-Time Team Members | Part-Time Team Members |
---|---|---|
Associates | $4,000 | $2,000 |
Bachelors | $4,000 | $2,000 |
Graduate/Professional | $5,000 | $2,500 |
Maximum tuition assistance is calculated based on the calendar year, not the academic year. End-of-year payments may be paid in the next calendar year and will count toward the maximum tuition assistance amounts allowable that calendar year. The date of the actual check determines the calendar year in which it is considered received. All tuition assistance payments are subject to available funds.
Colleges, Universities and Courses
The educational institution an eligible team member attends must be recognized by one of the Regional Accrediting Organizations. Degree and course work should relate to the team member’s current position or some future position within the health system. Coursework should be advancing the team member toward a degree (Associates/Bachelors/Masters/Doctorate). Grades of a C or above are eligible for tuition assistance.
Getting Started
