Many area hospitals offer financial assistance for health care careers. As a full- or part-time employee, you may be eligible for tuition reimbursement. Some hospitals offer scholarships for students to attend a specific school or enroll in a specific program, such as nursing. These programs may require a commitment to work at the hospital for one or two years after graduation. Additional benefits may include paying for licensure testing, prep courses and certification.

For more information, contact your local hospital to see what tuition assistance programs they offer.
