Employer Tuition Assistance for Higher Education
Many agencies, organizations and businesses across Oklahoma provide tuition assistance benefits to help their employees pay for higher education. 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 Oklahoma employers that offer tuition assistance benefits for employees. For more specific and comprehensive information, contact the employer directly.
