Many agencies, organizations and businesses in Tulsa provide tuition assistance benefits to help their employees pay for higher education. This mutual benefit allows students financial assistance in completing a degree, while also providing employers with an educated workforce.
Types of education benefits for employees vary, and may include:
- Tuition payment assistance or reimbursement.
- Payment/reimbursement for licensing courses and exams.
- Matched contributions to employer-sponsored 529 college savings plan.
- Student loan repayment.
Some employers that offer educational benefit options require a minimum waiting period for eligibility, some set a maximum benefit amount, and some may extend educational benefits to employee dependents. Below is an alphabetical list of some Tulsa-area employers that offer tuition assistance benefits for employees. For more specific and comprehensive information, contact the employer directly.
