My higher education journey started 10 years ago and since day one 1199 has been by my side assisting me with tuition reimbursements (Desiree and the union team have always been incredibly responsive and willing to help in any way possible, answering any questions and guiding me through the process).
These reimbursements have immensely help keep my student loan on a manageable level, something really hard to do considering the increasing cost of college tuition in the past few years and the reason why they are so important for students like me.
Next semester I’m looking forward to graduating with a Bachelors in Nursing from Rhode Island College and, thanks to 1199 I won’t have to use half of my paycheck to pay my monthly student loans.
A forever grateful 1199 union member!
