Financing Your Education

Through Synopsys' tuition reimbursement program, you can enhance your skills in your current job and prepare for growth opportunities within the Company. You can get reimbursed up to $5,250 for expenses related to tuition, certification, and academic advising programs. If you are participating in both the Student Loan and Tuition Reimbursement program, the maximum for the two programs is $5,250, and the student loan is processed first.
