Publix Tuition Reimbursement Program

The Publix tuition reimbursement program can help cover the cost of college classes. This program is available to part-time and full-time associates who are seeking graduate or undergraduate degrees. In addition, some individual courses, online programs, and technical training in appropriate areas of study can also be covered.  As long as an associate has six months of continuous service and works an average of 10 hours per week (which leaves plenty of time for studies!), they can be covered in this program.
