Springfield College Partners with Chicopee Public Schools Employees to Offer Employee Grants

Springfield College has partnered with the Chicopee Public Schools in providing employee grants to full and part-time Chicopee Public Schools employees, who are enrolled in either undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, or certificate of advanced graduate study programs at Springfield College.

Chicopee Public Schools employees are eligible to receive scholarships, which have been established by Springfield College to support its members being educated for leadership in service to others. Students must provide employment information to confirm their eligibility. For more information, check out springfield.edu/partnership.

“We are thrilled to be able to add Springfield College to our list of partnerships for our Chicopee Educators to continue their education,” said Chicopee Public Schools Superintendent Lyn Clark. “This opportunity allows us to support our employees as they continue their educational and professional development. We look to attract and retain the best educators to our district. We look forward to seeing our educators thrive in the classroom as a result of these programs.”

Chicopee Public Schools employees can receive the employee grant for each degree pursued at the College, and participants will be awarded potential transfer credits who have completed trainings and certifications as outlined in the College’s experiential learning handbook.

In addition, the College will provide a pathway for Chicopee Public Schools employees, once enrolled, to earn additional credits for their degree program through the College’s prior learning assessment portfolio program.

Approximately 4,100 students, including 2,500 full-time undergraduate students, study at its main campus in Springfield, Mass., and at its regional campuses across the country. Springfield College inspires students through the guiding principles of its Humanics philosophy – educating in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others.
