Staff Training Assistance Program

Benefits-eligible staff may use up to $500 of their annual STAP funds each fiscal year on CCN services.

Review the information below for details about eligibility, fees and the CCN reimbursement process.

Stanford staff employees in benefits-eligible roles, including SLAC, are eligible to participate in this program. Faculty, students and retirees are not eligible.
Immediate family members (dependents, spouse or domestic partner) of eligible Stanford staff members may utilize the CCN hourly rate, but are not eligible for STAP reimbursement

We have negotiated a CCN rate of $125/hour for in-person and remote appointments
Eligible employees may seek reimbursement from their STAP balance up to a maximum of $500 per fiscal year. Reimbursement for assessments may not exceed $125 of the $500 allowable maximum. STAP reimbursement assumes available STAP funds, otherwise, eligible employees may still utilize the negotiated hourly rate of $125.
STAP funds cannot be used to pay for career counseling with a career counselor who is not part of the CCN program
Reimbursement requests must be submitted with the CCN Statement of Service Form within 20 days of appointment date to be eligible for reimbursement
