reimbursement program, qualified Best Buy employees are now

Master's programs
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 5, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Rasmussen University today announced the launch of
a Professional Achievement Grant for Best Buy employees who are
interested in advancing their education and skills. Between the new
grant and Best Buy's tuition reimbursement program, qualified Best
Buy employees are now eligible for 100 percent coverage of costs on
designated, online advanced degree programs in business and health

The Rasmussen University Professional Achievement Grant is an

assisting and surgical technology, or online programs not covered
by the new Professional Achievement Grant, may be eligible for up
to a 20 percent corporate grant2.

Twin Cities where we have campuses as well as across the
nation. It's known for its commitment to employee development,"
said Paula Singer, president and
chief academic officer at Rasmussen University. "We're thrilled to
offer Best Buy employees additional education benefits through our
Professional Achievement Grant—giving them the chance to start or
continue their education with the possibility of no out-of-pocket
costs as well as supporting Best Buy in retaining high-value
talent."
