Merck’s Educational Assistance Program offers financial assistance to help you enhance your capabilities and advance your education, while also carrying out your regular work responsibilities.

There is no waiting period — covered expenses are paid upon application approval, instead of at the end of the course. The program requires a one-year commitment that starts each time you receive reimbursement.
For more information on eligibility and details about the program, review the Educational Assistance Policy or contact Bright Horizons at merck.edassist.com (for information and live chat).
*Reimbursements that exceed $5,250 in a given tax year are taxable and taxes are withheld directly from the reimbursement payment.
