Tuition Assistance
Speak with your ESO or Education Counselor within your military service prior to enrolling with the College of Nursing
Process for Tuition Assistance Benefit
Upload your degree plan to your military branch portal or submit it to your local Base Education Office for approval. When your TA application has been approved and you receive your TA authorization, notify the Financial Aid Coordinator at Saint Anthony College of Nursing. The Coordinator will review your document and confirm the approved courses you have entered. The expected TA amount will be applied as a credit on your account and will reduce the amount of tuition for which you are responsible. The Bursar will generate a voucher to request your TA funds after the institutional refund period.
OSF Mission Partners approved for tuition reimbursement through their employee benefit using Guild to facilitate resources must comply with the following:
This section does not apply to OSF Mission partners approved under the guild benefit.
A $300 deposit is required, at registration, if you defer any portion of your tuition. If a class(s) is dropped the deferment status may change.
If your employer offers tuition or educational reimbursement, we will defer that amount until the end of the semester, upon employer notification. You will be required to pay the remaining balance above the benefit reimbursement, by the first day of class. The deferred balance will be due, in full, 30 days after grades are posted.
It is the student's responsibility to submit the required documents to their Human Resource Department. The reimbursement benefit is usually paid to the student directly.
Balances not paid within the 30 days will be subject to the 1% monthly interest charge.
