Benefit big time
You're the whole package. Your benefits should be, too.
When it comes to the important stuff — your health, your finances, your wellbeing — our comprehensive benefits have you covered. Put that vacation on your calendar. Earn that degree. Save for retirement. Every perk we offer is thoughtfully designed with you at the center, so you can build a life you love.
What life-changing looks like*
Feel Your Best
With access to top-notch medical insurance, comprehensive dental care and low-cost vision plans, we have you and your family covered.
Rest, Relax, Recharge
In addition to 5 weeks of PTO, you’ll have holidays and wellbeing hours at your disposal. (So you can put up that out-of-office message with confidence.)
Fund Your Future
When it comes to saving for retirement, you’re not on your own. Every year, SNHU contributes up to 6% of your salary to a 401(k), and you can choose to invest even more if you’d like.
Be There for Beginnings
Whether you’re expecting, adopting or fostering, welcoming a child into your family is a big deal. You’ll get up to 12 weeks of paid leave to celebrate, bond and (hopefully) rest.
Learn for Life
Whether it’s our free tuition program or the countless professional development opportunities you’ll have from day one, you’ll get the support you need to keep growing.
Thrive Without Limits
Life-changing benefits don’t just cover the basics. You’ll have access to free and low-cost mental health and wellbeing resources, lifestyle dollars (up to 4% bonus) and lots more.
