PE Funds that Sponsor MBA

The last thread on this is five years old now, but mentioned GI Partners, GTCR, Madison Dearborn, and BainCap. Are there any other PE firms that are known to consistently sponsor MBA for their associates in 2020?

I know that GTCR still does. They also don’t make pre-MBA associates compete with each other for the sponsored MBA since they’re willing to sponsor everyone that’s good and wants it.

What are the general terms of them paying for it? I imagine you’d have to work there for x amount of years otherwise there’s a clawback of some kind. How long does that tend to be?

I’d take that opportunity in a heartbeat, but things happen in life so I want to know what could go wrong if an even better opportunity appears after.
