The partnership provides eligible Amazon associates the chance to receive up to 100% of all tuition, books and fees paid while pursuing undergraduate college credit courses at Collin College, according to a news release from the college. This includes certificates, associate degrees and bachelor’s degrees.
“Partnering with a company like Amazon to provide more access to education is an opportunity we’re really excited for,” District President Neil Matkin said in the release. “This is a great collaboration tool we can use to offer our students another pathway to success.”
The program is available to Amazon hourly employees who have been employed for at least 90 days, according to Amazon’s website. Employees can access the funds as long as they remain employed with the company, and there is no limit to the number of years they can benefit.
Per the release, interested Amazon employees can apply to Collin College, register to enroll in courses and then submit tuition requests to Amazon through their Career Choice portal.
Nearby schools partnered with Amazon’s Career Choice program include University of North Texas, Tarrant County College and Dallas College.
