Strengthening People & Catalyzing Change Through TPF Tuition/Fees Reimbursement Program

In this Beyond The Blog conversation, Kiarra Louis invites Josephine Eisenberg, Alicia Exantus, and Stacy Sternberg — three committed, brilliant, and studious women — to share their experience in leveraging The Patterson Foundation's Tuition/Fees Reimbursement Program in collaboration with Indiana University Indianapolis Lilly Family School of Philanthropy (LFSOP) through its Advancing Philanthropic Leadership initiative.

Recognizing the value of academic and professional educational experiences offered by LFSOP, since 2022, TPF has provided opportunities for TPF staff and consultants to enroll in LFSOP graduate and professional development courses and be reimbursed.

Note: For TPF staff and consultants interested in or wondering if they should participate in TPF's Tuition/Fees Reimbursement Program, this podcast is worth a listen, as it demonstrates the value of academic and professional educational experiences in one's personal and professional life.
