<p>so i know that a lot of companies will reimburse you of some of your college tuition once you begin working for them, but do any of you know of any companies that will pay for a sum of your tuition if you agree to work for them for several years after graduation? i was talking to my grandpa and he was saying that some large companies such as gm have programs such as this, have any of you ever heard of it? im really interested in something like this because i am really considering a couple out of state schools and the tuition is killing that thought. thanks.</p>
<p>In addition to companies you might try your state's higher education commission. Some offer career-based scholarships with a service obligation.</p>
<p>The only ones I know of are the armed forces (ROTC scholarships).</p>
<p>Some companies offer graduate fellowships to their employees; this might be what your grandfather is referring to. I have friends who went to ivy league grad schools courtesy of GM, which paid tuition & a large stipend. At the time they went, they didn't have to agree to work for GM afterward. However, because too many ended up leaving, GM started requiring a period of employment following graduation or the recipient had to pay GM. Now that the economy is so bad, I am not sure they even do this anymore.</p>
<p>I do know an engineering student at UMich who worked for a company last summer, following his sophomore year. They liked him so much they are paying his tuition for the next two years, giving him summer employment, and planning to hire him upon graduation. So, even though it might not be possible to find a company to pay for school from the start, a co-op or internship might just help you find one that will help out!</p>
<p>Some colleges will actually pay their employees educational expenses for undergraduate work as well. Policies vary company to company....the olicies may include annual caps or employment specific courses only. Alot typically require the employee to work for several months before they will begin paying for the education. Basically, if you explore different companies which interest you, paying close attention to their benefits packages, you will find ones which will assist you with the cost of an undergraduate degree. The hardest part will be to convince them you are a worthy employee without your degree.</p>
<p>Many colleges offer free tuition to their full time employees (a lot of non-professional employees where I work get their degrees that way.)</p>
<p>Our company pays for C or better undergrad and B or better grad grades. </p>
<p>Eligible employees – are regular fulltime, part-time and, co-op employees reflected as active status in the Human Resource database.</p>
<p>Working for the Federal government can result in forgiveness of federal undergraduate student loans and tuition for graduate courses.</p>
