Bon Secours Mercy Health — Guild Tuition Benefits Program — Direct Billing

BSMH system, as an employer, offers Tuition Benefits for those associates employed in PRN, Part-Time and Full-Time positions through its partnership with Guild. BSMH associates attending BSMCON have the opportunity to participate in the BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefit program, which provides associates with financial funding from BSMH to cover the cost of BSMCON Tuition and Fees and certain Other Charges (less Grants and Scholarship funding), for an eighteen (18) month work commitment at a BSMH facility post-graduation and RN licensure. Participation in the BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefit Program allows BSMCON to directly bill BSMH Human Resources (HR) for eligible Charges, preventing the student from having to remit payment to BSMCON “out of pocket.” BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefits that are paid in excess of $5,250 in any calendar year are subject to tax implications. Full details of the BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefit program are further described in BSMH Education Benefit Program policy, which can be found on the BSMH intranet site by clicking the HR Service Now portal and searching by tuition (or education) benefits. For further information, associates may contact the BSMH Associates Service Center (ASC) by opening an HR Service Now ticket, calling 1-877-692-7780, or scheduling an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor.

Students who are participating in the BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefits program must submit an initial (one-time) application on the BSMH Guild platform. Upon approval from BSMH HR and Guild, the BSMCON Financial Aid Office will automatically schedule BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefits for each Semester in which the student is enrolled. Once BSMH (Guild) Tuition Benefits are scheduled as a source of Financial Aid on the student’s account, the student is responsible for reviewing the information contained on the Registration Bill in advance of each Semester. In addition, students are responsible for knowing and understanding which Other Charges may (or may not) be invoiced to BSMH (as a Third-Party Payor). Students are responsible for submitting payment, or having alternative Financial Aid scheduled and approved, for all Charges in accordance with the deadlines established in ADM 4.04 Student Accounts policy.
