Education reimbursement & direct pay programs

Pursuing your education while working is more affordable than ever at OhioHealth. You are eligible for these programs upon hire.

The education reimbursement and direct-pay benefit pays expenses for programs of study at regionally or select nationally accredited institutions, related to positions at OhioHealth.

Direct Pay Program

OhioHealth will directly pay for tuition upfront up to $5,250 per year to eligible associates in critical need roles at more than 50 preferred in-network colleges and universities.

Education Reimbursement Program

This program reimburses eligible associates up to $5,250 per year for educational expenses at regionally or select nationally accredited institutions, related to positions at OhioHealth. There are select colleges and universities that will reduce their tuition to equal the OhioHealth $5,250 a year education benefit for full-time associates, meaning you may be able to earn your education at no cost.

Dependent benefits for education are also available through tuition discounts at many colleges and universities.

Eligibility for education benefits begins your first day of employment. The benefit amount paid is based on hours worked and role.

• Full-time associates (64 – 80 hours per pay period): Maximum benefit amount = $5,250 per year
• Part-time associates pursuing degrees in certain workforce critical roles (32 – 63 hours per pay period): Maximum benefit amount = $5,250 per year
• Part-time associates pursuing degrees not in workforce critical roles (32 – 63 hours per pay period): Maximum benefit amount = $3,000 per year

Associate dependents may receive tuition discounts at local institutions that partner with OhioHealth. The list of schools can be found on the eSource Learning page.
