Who We Are

To be eligible for The SEIU Training and Education Fund benefits, you must work in a union position at a participating employer. The Training and Education Fund is a benefit bargained into your SEIU HCPA union contract.

If you're not sure, ask your union delegate, or call the Union's Member Resource Center to learn what is in your union contract 1-800-252-3894.

SEIU HCPA Training and Education Fund members have several certifications available: CPR, Mental Health First Aid, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Dementia Capable Care, and ServSafe. Visit our Take A Class page to learn more or sign up!

In order to be eligible for Tuition Assistance, you must be employed at a participating facility for a minimum of 15 hours per week for one continuous year prior to the application deadline.

If you are a first-time applicant, you must first contact us and talk with your Training and Education Fund Program Specialist for an overview of the process. 

If you are a returning applicant, you can submit your application using the form on our Tuition Assistance page.

You must submit an application for every term or semester you want to use your Tuition Assistance benefit. We provide up to $5,000 per calendar year toward tuition, books, and fees. 

You may use your Tuition Assistance benefit for any course of study toward any approved or accredited undergraduate degree, certification, non-credit program, workshop, or skills enhancement module.
