List of jobs that offer TUITION REIMBURSEMENT , even to part time college age students

Boeing -- Full reimbursement (full tuition and books, any subject) if you work 20 hours or more per week. My friend had her last year of USC (~ $30,000) paid for while interning.

Raytheon -- Up to ~ $7,500 a year reimbursement for grad school related to your work. If you quit work, you must repay anything they paid for tuition during the previous two years.

You can also apply to get accepted into a fellowship program that pays full graduate tuition (no cap) plus:
1) $5,000/year stipend but limits you to 20-36 Hrs of work/Week (50-90% pay) during the school year
or
2) Half salary while you go to school full time (0 hours at work)

For the fellowship program, the amount you must repay upon quiting is reduced linearly over two years -- ie quit after 1 year and you must repay half of what they paid.

UPS - Earn and Learn program. From their site:

Available in 51 UPS locations across the country, the UPS Earn and Learn program offers $3,000 per calendar year with a lifetime maximum of $15,000 in assistance. For part-time management employees, the benefits are increased to $4,000 per calendar year with a lifetime maximum of $20,000.

In addition to tuition assistance, part-time employees are eligible for forgivable student loans of $2,000 per calendar year with an $8,000 lifetime maximum.

Students are eligible for Earn and Learn the day they are hired and benefits are pro-rated accordingly if a student is hired mid-semester.

Leopard's Lounge and other clubs - $1,500 to $2,000 in educational expenses per year to women or men who work three or four seven-hour shifts. link

Charter One/Citizens Bank pays $2500 annual for part time, $4000 for full time, $5000 for graduate study. Must be business related or for part of a business-related degree program.

awesome thread!!! I wish there was something like this earlier!!!
I turned down an offer from Citi, didn't want to go to interview at Lockheed, and now I am about to pay up $150K for MBA out of pocket!

I guess I have to look hard at Boeing and Raythone in the next couple month.

fatcool said: What a crappy way to look for an employer. Why go after 3-4K Tution reimbursement when you can find a job somewhere else f0r 7-8K more without restricting your search to this list. Why waste Finance forum for this kind of useless topics.

Very true, with this thread, I wouldn't even bother with the ones who only offer a few K per year since I am staring $45K/year tuition. Never even heard ones who would pay half salary for full time program Like Raytheon. Now there's a chance I might get my Ivy league MBA without mounting a huge debt.

just a few that I know of:

Johnson & Johnson - 100% tuition reimbursement
Merck - 100% graduate studies reimbursement, once authorized for job related duties
GlazoSmithKline - 100% graduate studies reimbursement, once authorized for job related duties
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals - 90% up to $7,500 per calendar year
Genentech - 90% up to $10,000 per calendar year

Maybe this is useless to you but there is a large segment of the population who can not just get a job that pays $7-8k more. I have a solid job and BS, so what an employer would pay for my graduate degree was not the one determining factor in choosing a job - but think about the people out there who are not skilled in an area and don't have experience...jobs like bank tellers are easy to come by and I think some of these companies are a great option for people who are just graduating from high school but don't know how they are going to pay for college. I think for them evaluating their career plans and these companies tuition benefits could amount to a great financial benefit for them.

Also, this is not employer specific, but most colleges and univerisities provide some sort of tuition benefit even for jobs like custodial, food service, etc.

MadAnthony said: Food service workers at our school would not be covered, though, as they aren't college employees - we subcontract through Sudexho.

same idea here at cmu (100% for 2 classes/semester @ cmu, or 50% reimbursement elsewhere).

janitorial staff is outsourced -- it's not my favorite policy in the world.

Work for parents if they have a small business. The business can set up Tuition Reimbursement as a fringe benefit to "ALL EMPLOYEES". The business can deduct up to $5250/year/employee from its income and not having to pay tax on it. The reimbursement dollars is not reported as income on the employee W2. Above the $5250 limit (it may be higher for next year, don't know for sure), then the employee will start to pay income tax on it (but probably at a lower rate than the business' tax rate). More info on IRS.gov...

Does anyone have any experience with Citigroup's program? What are the terms? Do they support executive mba programs, etc.

Cingular Wireless has the following: "Tuition Reimbursement Program—Eligible expenses reimbursed for approved degreed and work-related courses up to $5,250 annually. Eligibility begins one year after your start date."

You should also look at the National Guard. In addition to the Federal benefits list below, some states have additonal benefits (for example, Colorado pays up to 75% of tuition). These state benefits are IN ADDITION TO (AKA DOUBLE DIP) the federal benefits listed below:

Army National Guard (ARNG)
The ARNG Federal Tuition Assistance (FTA) Program provides financial assistance to part-time ARNG soldiers in support of their professional and personal self-development goals. A masters degree may be supported provided funding is available. Their vision is to provide quality programs, services and support that will enable soldiers to achieve their education objectives and further enhance the strength and relevance of the Army National Guard. Members of the Army National Guard may qualify for one or more of the following TA programs

Federal Tuition Assistance (Part time Citizen Soldiers):
For FY05 the ARNG maximum amount paid for federal tuition assistance (FTA) for Part Time Soldiers is:

100% Tuition up to $250 @ Semester Credit Hour, or $167 @ Quarter Credit Hour

Fees up to $500

Not to exceed $4500 @ Fiscal Year

High School or equivalency level may be funded at 100% of tuition and fees, but are still limited to the $4,500 annual cap.

May be used with the MGIB-Selected Reserve (SR) or MGIB-Active Duty (AD) for the same course based on the following;

MGIB-SR participants must be enrolled at least ½ time or more to combine benefits

MGIB-AD participants who are drawing GI Bill-Kicker (Army College Fund, etc.) benefits are NOT eligible for ARNG FTA

ARNG recommends that schools apply FTA prior to Pell Grants, to allow for maximizing benefit for student financial needs
Note: ARNG FTA operates on a limited budget and is NOT a guaranteed benefit. It is offered on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Ahh... I see how far we have progressed from "Ask not what your country can do for you..."
Of course, "progressed" might not be the right word.

Oh well, I respect your opinion.
