Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady launches student debt relief program
Schenectady, NY (WRGB) — Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady, in partnership with Rush Street Gaming, has unveiled a new initiative aimed at alleviating the burden of student debt for its employees. The program offers eligible full-time team members up to $1,000 annually towards their student loans, fully funded by the company. This initiative is part of a broader effort to support employees without requiring any contributions from them.
Dawn Reynolds Pettit, chief human resources officer of Rush Street Gaming and Rivers Casino said,
Education is invaluable, but debt can be stressful. We’re proud to help Team Members crush those college loans, achieve their financial goals sooner and invest in their future.
Within a week of its launch, over 100 team members enrolled in the student debt repayment program, with numbers continuing to grow.
In addition to the debt relief program, Rivers Casino has introduced the Bill Keena Honorary Scholarship Program. Named after the recently retired chief operating officer, the scholarship supports team members in managerial roles or below, as well as their dependents, who are pursuing higher education. The program is administered by Scholarship America.
Tim Drehkoff, CEO of Rush Street Gaming and Rivers Casino said,
Bill Keena remains a staunch advocate for Rivers and Rush Street Team Members, supporting both their personal goals and professional growth. This scholarship honors Bill’s legacy and our commitment to Team Members.
Rivers Casino also offers up to $5,000 in annual tuition assistance for part and full-time team members pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies. Additionally, candidates accepted into the casino’s Table Games Dealer School receive free training and certification.
