The Kaiser Tuition Program
Historically, the KP Tuition Reimbursement Program has offered financial reimbursement for tuition and book expenses, up to a maximum of $600 per calendar year for approved continuing education that contributes to the improvement of their current function or enhances potential for career advancement at Kaiser Permanente.
In 2015, the dollar amount for the Kaiser Tuition Reimbursement Program increased to $3000, and in 2018 the limit for lodging and transportation expenses associated with CEU activities increased to $750. This includes full and part-time employees.
Please note: the upgraded Tuition Reimbursement Program has no prepayment option.
