Springfield College Partners with Victory Programs to Offer Employee Grants

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

Victory Programs 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.

“Victory Programs is thrilled to be partnering with Springfield College to support our dedicated employees in furthering their education and professional development. We hope this opportunity to advance their careers will have a positive impact on our community and those experiencing homelessness and chronic health conditions,” said Victory Programs Executive Director Sarah Porter.

Victory Programs 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 Victory Programs employees, once enrolled, to earn additional credits for their degree program through the College’s prior learning assessment portfolio program.

More than 3,200 turn to us yearly for shelter, sustenance, recovery, care, and professional, compassionate support. Most struggle with substance use and mental health, and many live with HIV/AIDS.
