My company offers to foot the entire bill for your MBA or other applicable graduate level degree if you pursue your degree while still working for the company. You need to have worked here for at least 18 months and you have to agree to work here for 2 years after you complete your degree. If you leave prior to the 2 year time period you are required to pay the company back for a large portion of the cost.

This is a pretty rare arrangement and like another member commented, there is usually a $10k - $12k cap per year at most firms.

 

You just need the right clients. I know of one company that invited several of their lenders to the Masters a couple of years ago.

My group gets an invite to the US Open every year by one of our law firms. And my company sponsors 4 football games a year that we take clients to.

 

My company is helping me out after the fact, giving me a "student loan" bonus on top of my actual bonus.

I work for a MM Regional bank and they pay $6k/yr as mentioned above. Need to be there for a year before and after. It's reimbursement, so you get paid back after you complete pending a particular GPA, etc. Used to work for a F100 and they paid $12k/Yr, which was nice. At the end of the day its very little compared to cost of the programs, especially if you want an MBA and you have to consider the fact you typically need to keep working full time to get the benefits. Very rare to get full tuition, pretty awesome some of the above companies do that. I thought that was mostly a thing of the past until I came across this thread tbh
