Watkins Tuition Grant
Professional Advancement Education Program
The Professional Advancement Education Program (PAE) has been developed by the College to assist regular, full-time and part-time Haverford College benefit-eligible, non-faculty staff members enhance the skills they need to perform their jobs. This program applies to classroom and online courses taken at other accredited institutions and is completely separate from, and acts in addition to, the existing Haverford Tuition Benefit. The courses must apply to a bona-fide certification or degree. The staff member needs to intend to complete the coursework through completion of the certification or the applicable degree.
The goal of the program is to reimburse regular full and part-time benefit-eligible, non-faculty staff members for educational expenses not covered by any other source of educational assistance.
