Walmart to pay 100% of associates' college tuition and books [View all]

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — On Tuesday, Walmart announced 100% of their associates' college tuition and books will be paid through their Live Better U (LBU) education program.

Starting August 16, the $1 a day fee will be removed for associates, making all education programs paid for by Walmart.

Thanks to the program, approximately 1.5 million part-time and full-time Walmart and Sam's Club associates in the U.S. can earn college degrees without the burden of college debt.

Walmart is committing to invest nearly $1 billion over the next five years in career-driven training and development.
