Investing in Our People: The T. Rowe Price Education Fund

Last year's T. Rowe Price Education Fund recipients

At GBMC HealthCare, we believe our people are our greatest asset. And to that end, we are committed to helping every team member reach their full potential. Whether our employees are at the start of their career or pursuing an advanced degree, we want them to have the resources to grow. That’s why we are proud to offer the T. Rowe Price Education Fund, which supplements our existing tuition prepayment/reimbursement program and gives employees extra support to achieve their educational goals. 

If you’ve been with GBMC for at least six months, work 20+ hours per week, have a strong performance record, and have used tuition reimbursement in the past year, you may be eligible for additional funding for tuition, books, and fees.

The deadline for applications is September 1, 2025, at midnight. 

Please check your employee email for additional guidelines and to learn how to apply.  

Last year, 37 employees received more than $133,000 in additional funding through this program, and hundreds of employees have utilized the fund since its inception. I’ll highlight a couple of examples within nursing here today, although the benefits span departments and roles across the entire health system: 

• Emma Schneider, DNP, RN, AGACNP-BC, has used GBMC’s tuition support to advance her nursing education and bring even greater expertise to her patients.  
• Kate Jones, DNP, RNC, shared that her journey is one of resilience and lifelong learning, which were supported by GBMC's commitment to continuing education. 

Our strategic plan calls for us to be the employer of choice in our market. Programs like the T. Rowe Price Education Fund are one way we bring that goal to life. It helps us make sure our team members have access to the training, credentials, and degrees they need to thrive in their careers. 

I encourage our staff to explore not only our opportunities with this fund but our tuition benefits overall (in addition to our no-cost GBMCU opportunities available in Workday). The investment GBMC makes in your education is an investment in you... and the health and future of our entire community.
