Tuition Benefits
It takes many strong minds for an organization to achieve its purpose. Learning is at the core of our mission, not only for students, but also for employees and their families. Stonehill encourages life-long learning through a wide range of training, professional development, and educational opportunities.

Eligible part-time employees may take up to four courses per year (1 course per semester plus summer and intercession periods).
