For current GHS employees who have decided to return to school to gain additional education, we commend you. Because you are now in a new role as a student, you will need to make sure that we go through proper clearance processes to ensure you are properly credentialed in your additional role.
Educational Assistance Program
One of the ways that GHS supports lifelong learning for
its employees is through the education assistance program. Eligible employees may receive up to $4,000 per fiscal year for reimbursement of covered educational expenses.The GHS education assistance program is managed through a national vendor, EdAssist. Through EdAssist our employees have access to both academic and financial advising, as well as 24/7 access to their reimbursement records and payment tracking.
For more information about the GHS educational assistance programs, benefits and policies, please visit GHS’s EdAssist page and the GHS Learning and Development Education Assistance page.
