How this list is built

Each employer was checked on 2026-10-13 against its own careers or benefits page, its newsroom, or the official program portal it runs through (for example a Guild or InStride portal named for the employer, or a .mil page for military Tuition Assistance). A figure that appears only on third-party sites is recorded as not published.

Benefits change, and plan documents can differ by role, union contract and state. Treat this as a starting point and confirm the current terms with HR or the program portal before you enrol. Educational, not financial or tax advice.

For the tax rules behind the $5,250 figure, read the employer tuition reimbursement guide.
