Looking for Part-Time or Online Jobs with Tuition Reimbursement?
hello everyone, Merry christmas :)
I’m currently a college student trying to cover my tuition without accumulating excessive debt. I've been struggling to secure scholarships, so I’m exploring other options like part-time or online jobs that offer tuition reimbursement programs.
I know these opportunities might be rare, especially for remote work, but if anyone knows of companies, organizations, or even lesser-known programs that provide this benefit, I’d love to hear about them!
I’m especially interested in flexible schedules that can accommodate my classes. Any advice, personal experiences, or leads would be incredibly helpful!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Angel,
Merry Christmas! 🎄 It’s great that you're being proactive about covering tuition costs without taking on too much debt. Many companies do offer part-time or remote work with tuition reimbursement, especially for students. Some well-known companies that often provide this benefit include:
UPS - They have an Earn and Learn program that provides tuition reimbursement for part-time workers.
Apple - They offer tuition reimbursement to employees in certain positions.
Cheg- As an education-based company, Chegg provides employees with education benefits and reimburses tuition for continuing education.
Anthem- offers tuition assistance for employees pursuing degree programs that are relevant to their roles within the company.
Target- Tuition Assistance Program provides financial assistance for employees who want to pursue a degree or certification.
Amazon - They offer their Career Choice Program, which provides funding for employees to pursue education in high-demand fields.
Walmart - Their Live Better U program offers a variety of affordable education options, including degree programs with reimbursement.
Starbucks - Through their partnership with Arizona State University, they offer full tuition coverage for employees pursuing a degree.
Good luck, and I hope you find something that works with your schedule!
Additionally, check out websites like FlexJobs or Indeed for part-time remote jobs that may offer tuition assistance. FlexJobs is a job board that specializes in remote, part-time, freelance, and flexible jobs. It features high-quality listings that have been hand-screened, ensuring that they are legitimate and flexible. Tuition Assistance- While FlexJobs itself doesn’t directly offer tuition reimbursement, many of the companies posting jobs on the platform offer benefits such as tuition assistance, reimbursement, or educational benefits. Indeed is one of the largest job boards, featuring a wide variety of job types including remote and part-time roles. Tuition Assistance- Some employers on Indeed offer tuition reimbursement or education benefits as part of their benefits packages. To find them, you can filter job searches to look for "tuition reimbursement" in the job description or company benefits section. You can check out LinkedIn, , Glassdoor, Remote.co
You could also explore local businesses or nonprofits that may have scholarships or benefits like this, especially in sectors like healthcare, technology, or education.

Hello again, Angel !
It's great that you are looking into employment that offers tuition reimbursement and you have received many leads from the advisors here that I hope work out for you. There are a couple of things that you can consider in the case that you do not obtain what you are looking for. Dallas has a program that I told of in your other inquiry. It is helping students in Dallas County have a college tuition free experience or pay for most of the expenses. You also do not have to accept student loans if you do not want them, therefore not accruing debt after you graduate. So after you apply to the companies the advisors have referred you to and if you don't hear back from the companies there is still a couple of considerations to help with college costs.
Are you eligible for Federal Student Financial Aid and are you eligible for Dallas County's Dallas County Promise Program ? These questions are what you should answer for yourself before considering if employment is your only option. As stated in my previous response to you about covering college costs, the primary program in your city that helps students have a "free college" experience is the Dallas County Promise Program. If you meet the income eligibility requirement, this program will cover your college tuition, fees, and books. You can find out more about the program at the link I've provided for you below.
As mentioned, with the intention of continuing to apply for scholarships and grants, you can consider Loan Refusal. I don't know your specific circumstances, if you are already on financial aid or not, exactly what college you attend, but it is possible that if you go to a college that has the Loan Refusal agreement with the financial aid federal department, the college would help you in other ways.
To decline a Loan offered to you through the Federal Student Financial Aid program, you should go to the financial aid office on your campus and ask for information about how to do it and if your college allows declining of the loans. Each college is different and the information will need to come from an authorized financial aid officer at your college. It is important to follow up on this as you wait to hear back from employers whose companies you've applied to.
Specifically taking employment for the sole purpose of tuition reimbursement means that you HAVE TO pay your tuition first and THEN the employer would pay some or all of it. So most likely you'd have to remit the money to your school first and then the employer would pay you. If you could find an employer that pays the college directly, that would be extremely fortunate.
Don't wait until the interview to find out if the companies have tuition benefits - call the Human Resources Departments at each company beforehand to ask. You are actually looking for an employer to pay for your tuition. Employer Reimbursement means you pay the college and other costs. Your employer would then ask you for documentation and pay some or all of it to you because you've already paid your college. Tuition benefits may be only for certain positions. Also keep in mind that companies located in certain areas may not participate in tuition benefits while the same company located elsewhere may have these benefits for their employees.
My advice is to follow up with the Federal Financial Aid, Dallas County Promise and Loan refusal programs and continue to apply for scholarships and grants. Your efforts will be rewarded if you apply to many and continually. Don't give up too easily. I hope you find a job you like and I wish you all the best !

Thank you, this is amazing! I really needed it.

Thank you so much for the detailed advice and the resources you’ve provided! I truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into helping me navigate my options.
I did have one question—can undergraduate students, specifically sophomores, apply for the Dallas County Promise Program? I’ve heard it’s primarily for high school students, so I wanted to clarify if it’s an option for someone in my situation.
Thanks again for your guidance!
angel
Hi, Angel - For the program, students must live in Dallas County and have graduated from a high school that participates in the Promise Program, demonstrate financial need (low income), not have taken dual enrollment in high school, and a GPA of 2.0 or higher. I hope you meet these requirements because it sounds like an awesome program to look into. I didn't see anything that states it's ONLY for high school students, but contact them to get additional verification. Have a great day !
