Business school partners with credit union to offer tuition discounts to employees

The New England College of Business (NECB) and Finance has announced that it has created a partnership with New England Credit Union Services (NECUS) to develop a college tuition savings initiative for employees of company who enroll in one of the school's online degree programs.

Through the partnership with the college, NECUS employees and their immediate family members will have the opportunity to save almost half of the cost of standard tuition on undergraduate degrees and approximately 25 percent of the expense of most graduate degree programs.

"The educational benefits for employees of our existing partner institutions and the extended benefits for family members offer immeasurable cost savings, and send a strong, positive message," said Pamela DellaPorta, director of corporate partnerships at NECB

"In a climate where many benefits are being eliminated, this speaks volumes in terms of commitment from partner companies to their employees' professional development," she added.

In addition to the incentive programs for NECUS employees and their families, all new students who enroll in one of the university's online degree programs by July 5 will receive a $500 scholarship that can be applied to the cost of tuition.
