Hey, I heard that Walmart offers tuition reimbursement for their employees. Is this true, and if so, how do I go about applying for it? I'm about to start college and could use the help for tuition. Thanks for any info!
Yes, Walmart does offer tuition reimbursement for their employees through a program called Live Better U. Live Better U covers the full cost of tuition, books, and fees for eligible employees who are pursuing degree programs in business, technology, and supply chain management at participating universities, as well as offering access to high school completion, language learning, trade certificates, and more.
To qualify for Live Better U, you must be a full-time or part-time hourly Walmart U.S. or Sam's Club associate. You'll be eligible for the program once you've worked with the company for 90 days. The application process is quite simple:
1. Visit the Live Better U website and log in using your WalmartOne login credentials.
2. Explore the available educational programs and find the right fit for your goals.
3. Apply for your chosen program directly on the website.
4. Once you're accepted into the program, Walmart will cover the costs upfront, meaning you don't have to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement.
Keep in mind that participating universities are limited, but they do offer a variety of programs and their partnership ensures that your degree will align with the skills Walmart values. It's a great opportunity to earn your degree while working and not be burdened by tuition costs. Good luck with your college journey!
