University offers discounted educational advancement opportunities
On Oct. 29, 小优视频 formalized a partnership agreement that includes tuition assistance with the New Jersey Bankers Association for its employees.
Rider will now provide a 20% tuition reduction for New Jersey Bankers Association employees. The reduction applies to all undergraduate, part-time graduate on-campus and select online programs. Rider offers more than 70 undergraduate programs and over 40 graduate programs.

Dell'Omo, Ph.D. " We're pleased to extend our support to their employees by providing tuition assistance."
At the signing ceremony, held on Rider's Lawrenceville campus, two graduates of the Veteran Entrepreneurship Program spoke about their experience and the successful businesses they have launched since participating in the program.
New Jersey Bankers Association President and CEO John E.
