Other tuition and education assistance at Providence

There are several other ways we support caregivers’ learning and development at Providence. The traditional tuition reimbursement benefit for caregivers is still available, which gives eligible caregivers up to $5,250 tuition reimbursement for qualifying education and certificate programs and expenses.

Additionally, all caregiver service qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). We partner with Tuition.io to guide all caregivers through their student loans. Parents of college-bound children can also use Tuition.io to learn how to save and pay for tuition.

We also offer a variety of online and in-person opportunities for caregivers and their dependents to receive an education conveniently and affordably through our partnership with the University of Providence (UP). Caregivers who use their benefit at UP can participate in immediate tuition reimbursement, providing funds earlier to pay for schooling at the beginning of the term.

Finally, we offer resources like our Providence internal Rise learning platform with a virtual Career Center to help caregivers assess their skills and interests, explore career options and develop a path toward achieving their ideal job.
