Success Story

 

OVERVIEW
The Education Fund offers a limited number of stipends to members enrolled in an eligible healthcare-related academic program at an accredited institution. The stipend will compensate you to reduce your work schedule by one shift per week, or 8 hours per week, whichever is greater. In addition to financial support, participants also are assigned a counselor who keeps in touch regularly and offers access to other Education Fund resources and services. This is also the case with all of our programs.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
In order to be eligible for our Stipend Program, you must:

• Be enrolled or accepted in a Registered Nurse, or other professional or technical, program for the coming semester.
• Work in a participating SEIU bargaining unit position for a contributing employer.
• Be a regular, full- or part-time employee eligible for benefits. (Non-benefited, bargaining unit employees may be eligible for other services).
• Have completed your initial probationary period
• Be able to work out an agreement with your manager to reduce your work schedule
• Meet other eligibility criteria that your employer, the training fund and/or the training program requires

Please Note: This program is not for completion of prerequisite classes. Selection for the Stipend Program is limited, and based on eligibility criteria and availability of funding.
