How’s this for an employee benefit?
Capital Health recently announced the names of four students — family members of Capital Health employees — who received full-tuition scholarships to Rider University as part of an employee education benefits partnership with the university.
The latest winners are part of a partnership between Capital Health and Rider that was launched in October 2020.
Capital Health CEO Al Maghazehe was thrilled to make the latest announcement in the initiative.
“This scholarship program is just one of the many education-related benefits and opportunities we offer employees and their families,” he said. “It’s exciting to be able to help more and more members of our Capital Health family pursue higher education. Congratulations to this year’s winners and our continued best wishes for success in this important step in their education journey.”
Capital Health is a leader in the Central New Jersey/Lower Bucks County region’s leader in providing progressive, quality patient care with significant investments in physicians, nurses and staff, as well as advanced technology
It is comprised of two hospitals (Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton and Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell), a Hamilton outpatient facility, and an extensive network of primary and specialty care practices across the region.
The program is one of many initiatives the system has with the university.
Capital Health’s employee education benefits program also features a 50% tuition discount agreement with Rider University for non-union employees and their immediate family members (cannot be combined with full-tuition scholarships).
Other Rider education benefits for Capital Health employees include an application fee waiver; free, unofficial evaluation of transfer credits prior to applying; and a Rider academic advisor to help plan their schedule. Graduate student applicants can request a free evaluation of transfer credits as well as course and GMAT/GRE waivers.
Capital Health also offers several other programs designed to offer employees, their family, and members of the community opportunities to pursue health care related education including its own EMT Academy, surgical tech and central sterile processing training programs, and a home health care aide education program.
Recipients of Capital Health’s full-tuition scholarship to Rider University must be new full-time undergraduate, first-time freshman, current undergraduate students, or undergraduate transfer students.
Scholarships are awarded for four consecutive years or until the completion of the academic program. Students must be full-time students, maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, and must be considered a student in good standing by Rider University at all times during their enrollment.
To be eligible for the scholarships, candidates or their immediate family members must be full-time, non-union employees of Capital Health for at least one year and meet additional eligibility requirements.
This year’s winners: Sunny Carpinello of Nottingham High School – North, Alannah Eidell of Manchester Township High School, Mariah Sabat of Hillsborough High and Ellie Campbell of Hamilton High School – West.
