Financial assistance for certificate and degree programs.
You’re eligible for employee tuition assistance if you’re an active employee who regularly work at least 20 hours per week and isn’t represented by a collective bargaining agreement.
Employees at most hospitals and member organizations may be also eligible for dependent tuition assistance.
Johns Hopkins Health System (JHHS) offers financial assistance for tuition, mandatory fees and books for:
- Certificate and degree programs for in-demand fields such as nursing, business, cybersecurity and allied health.
- High school completion and college preparatory programs.
- English-language learning.

- Partially funded programs: Up to $5,250–$10,000 of eligible expenses each calendar year for other undergraduate and graduate degrees and certificates within the learning marketplace.
- Out-of-network programs: Up to $5,250 each calendar year for programs outside of the learning marketplace that are aligned with approved fields of study.
- The John Hopkins University (JHU) programs: Up to $15,000 of eligible expenses for nursing degree programs through the school of nursing or the two-year postdoctoral pharmacy program through the school of medicine.

Preguntas frecuentes
Is the myTuition program taxable?
JHHS provides up to $5,250 per calendar year in employee tuition assistance tax-free for federal and most state income tax purposes. If you receive employee tuition assistance (which includes payments for tuition, fees, student loans and other qualifying expenses) of more than $5,250 from JHHS within a calendar year, you will be responsible for paying federal income taxes on the amount over $5,250.
Individual tax liability will vary and is affected by state of residence, total earnings, marital status, number of dependents and other factors.
For more tax information about employee tuition assistance, visit Guild’s Help Center .
Federal and state tax provisions are subject to change. You should contact a tax advisor for additional information on potential tax liability.
Will JHHS cover the cost of a program I’m currently enrolled in?
JHHS will only pay for select tuition-free and partially funded programs within the learning marketplace. If you’re currently enrolled in one of these programs, JHHS will only pay for future courses once you’re eligible and have applied through myTuition .
Do I need manager approval before I can enroll?
While we recommend talking with your manager about your career goals, your manager does not have to approve your education choice. You only need to meet the eligibility requirements outlined above to participate.
Is there a limit to the number of courses I can take per term?
Term limits vary based on each school/institution and program. Employees should work with their school/institution and Guild Support to understand the course limit per term.
Is there a limit to how many programs I can take over the period of my employment?
Employees can participate in only one program at a time; however, you can enroll in a double major or major and minor. Employees may enroll in and complete multiple programs sequentially, subject to the JHHS eligibility requirements, funding and relevant school/institution requirements.
Are there minimum course load requirements?
No, there are no minimum course load requirements for employees.
Is there a grade requirement?
To remain eligible for the myTuition benefit, employees must be in good academic standing and meet any specific program requirements — some schools/institutions may enforce their own academic standards and requirements that typically require maintaining a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better to be eligible for undergraduate degree programs, and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better to be eligible for graduate degree programs.
Employees will be required to submit copies of their latest transcripts to enable JHHS to track progress and performance.
Will I still be eligible for the benefit if I leave JHHS?
You’re no longer eligible for the myTuition benefit after you leave the organization. You may continue your education, but you’ll be responsible for covering all subsequent costs.
If you leave the organization mid-term, JHHS will still cover your costs for that term, and you won’t be required to reimburse JHHS for that term.
Do I have to pay anything back if I don’t complete my program?
While we strongly encourage you to complete any program you enroll in, you won’t be required to pay anything back if you drop out.
If you need assistance during your program, you can reach out to a Guild growth coach. They can help you get and stay motivated, put into practice new time management skills and stay on track throughout your program.
If I leave JHHS, do I have to pay anything back?
No, you aren’t required to reimburse JHHS for any completed terms if you leave or are separated from the company.
