Employees of Seven Hills Foundation, Central Massachusetts’ largest human services nonprofit organization, will be able to pursue a variety of degrees online through Nichols College in Dudley at a discounted rate.
The college announced the partnership with the nonprofit on Tuesday. Seven Hills employees can pursue bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as well as certificate programs, online at a 20% discount.
“Nichols College is deeply committed to Central Massachusetts and its citizenry and is excited to proactively make higher education affordable and accessible to Seven Hills staff throughout New England and beyond,” Nichols College Provost Daniel Borgia said in a Tuesday press release from the school. “This partnership reflects the college’s desire to partner with the region’s top companies and organizations and to bring Nichols’ exemplary education to professionals wherever they seek to learn.”
Seven Hills Foundation is based in Worcester and provides services to people with developmental disabilities. The organization employs more than 1,600 people in Central Massachusetts. It reported nearly $375 million in revenue in fiscal 2022, making it the largest human services nonprofit, ranked by revenue in Central Massachusetts, according to the WBJ Research department.
In June, Nichols College announced a similar partnership with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, offering members of the department a 40% discount to pursue degrees online.
