Tuition Reimbursement Incentive Program

A tuition reimbursement program is sponsored by Hallmark Health for students who work a specified number of hours as nursing assistants or patient care technicians at a Hallmark facility. Students are paid competitive rates for hours worked and may receive reimbursement for nursing tuition in addition! This program offers students a chance to achieve their professional goals, to pursue their career while canceling debt and to be employed in a prestigious health system upon graduation.

After six months of employment, the student receives reimbursement for 50% of the first nursing course tuition and, after six more months, the remaining 50% of the nursing course tuition is returned. This reimbursement continues until all four nursing course tuition amounts have been reimbursed, providing that the student/graduate fulfills the requirements of the Tuition Reimbursement Incentive Program.

Details of the program and its requirements are available through the office of the Bursar and the Director, Student and Alumni Services.

*This program is not to be construed by the applicant as an offer or guarantee of employment, or a statement as to the availability of employment. It is the responsibility of each applicant to consult with their own tax advisor on the effect of this program on his/her individual tax situation. Hallmark Health System retains the right to alter or amend the criteria for participation at its discretion, provided such changes do not adversely affect eligible participants already registered or enrolled in the Tuition Reimbursement Incentive Program at Hallmark Health System.
