Spring Hill College partnered with Ingalls Shipbuilding to provide more tuition assistance benefits to employees with eligibility through the college’s Center for Online Learning.

Ingalls Shipbuilding is a division of Huntington Ingalls Industires located in Pascagoula, Mississippi. “Ingalls Shipbuilding is proud to partner with Spring Hill College in providing our employees with affordable education opportunities,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding Training Representative, Sherry Joubert. “This partnership not only encourages our employees to enhance their skills and knowledge in their current position but also allows Ingalls to invest in the developmental growth of our employees, further creating a shipyard where the best ideas and technology can be leveraged to meet the needs of our customers.”

Ingalls is the largest military shipbuilding company in the country and provides professional services to partners in government as well as industry.

Spring Hill will extend preferred tuition benefits (10% discount and payment deferment) to eligible employees of Ingalls Shipbuilding through the company’s pre-approved Education Assistance Program.

“We are extremely excited about this partnership. Ingalls Shipbuilding has an outstanding Education Assistance program, which provides up to $5,250 per year towards their education,” said Director of Operations for Spring Hill’s Center for Online Learning, Patrick Sprague. “Ingalls is offering its employees the opportunity to further their education and career goals. The flexibility of our online degree and certificate programs allows them to take classes at their own pace and provides the guidance and support necessary to ensure that they become graduates of Spring Hill College.”

With this partnership in place, when Ingalls employees choose Spring Hill College, tuition is discounted, and they are able to defer the cost of classes until after classes are completed. This makes going to college more affordable for the individual. SHC will also work with select departments to host virtual “lunch and learn” events.
