Tutition Reimbursement

Starting in January, tuition reimbursement amounts will align across the Providence family of organizations. In a calendar year, all non-represented benefits-eligible* full-time caregivers may be reimbursed up to $5,250, while part-time caregivers may be reimbursed up to $2,625.

​MA/CNA immediate reimbursement – offered now​We recently announced a new option for caregivers considering going to school for certified nursing assistant (CNA) or medical assistant (MA) training and certification. Now benefits-eligible* caregivers have an opportunity to get this training and certification without paying money up front for the program. This is an immediate reimbursement, resulting in no cost to caregivers. ​

The enhancements to our tuition reimbursement program will give more caregivers across the Providence family of organizations access to increased education funding to learn new skills and advance their careers. ​

To learn more about both of these tuition reimbursement programs, visit the HR Portal. ​

*Caregivers covered under a collective bargaining agreement receive tuition benefits in accordance with the terms of their contract.​
