Education Assistance

Tuition Reimbursement for Formal Education 

Reimbursements will be 85% of the course tuition up to the tuition cap (per employee). The tuition cap for job-related undergraduate and graduate courses varies each year.

Reimbursement allowances are available for non-job career development that will provide skills or competencies related to hard-to-recruit positions needed within Geisinger Health System. Decisions regarding hard-to-recruit status will be made by the Tuition Assistance Coordinator. Reimbursements will be 50% of the course tuition up to 50% of the annual cap established for non-job-related courses.
