Here is a summary of typical sponsorship options; we are happy explore additional ideas. For all sponsorship opportunities, the funding partner will define the student eligibility criteria, for example the funder can require that the student’s employer be a customer of a specific utility or located in a specific city/county. MEEA will coordinate with your team during enrollment and training to confirm eligibility and, where applicable, administer the incentive.

Student Incentives

Tuition Reimbursement

Tuition reimbursement is the most common type of support that MEEA receives. For this option, the incentive is paid directly to the student after a class is complete if the student meets the eligibility criteria and completes all the course requirements and qualifies for the Training Certificate of Certification.

In addition to defining the eligibility criteria, the funding partner chooses

• The amount of tuition reimbursement; typically, between $150 to $1695 per student
• Whether MEEA or the funding partner will process and send payment to students. If MEEA will process payment than we request some administrative support, see below.

Discounted Tuition

For this option, the incentive is offered before the class begins and payment is made to MEEA who will sill set up a special registration code for students that meet the eligibility criteria.

In addition to defining the eligibility criteria, the funding partner chooses the amount of the tuition discount; typically, between $150 and $700 per student.

Administrative Support

Administrative support helps offset MEEAs costs for each training, including instructor fees, purchase of books and other course materials, facility rental, catering and more.
