JBU + Walmart/Sam's Club Partnership

Walmart and Sam's Club are committed to providing their associates with the opportunity for personal and professional growth; that's why they've partnered with John Brown University to provide a top-notch education to associates who want to develop a greater array of skills and knowledge through higher education.

Partnership eligibility and benefits

Eligible recipients can receive the discounts or scholarships offered below, as well as any other eligible AR scholarships and grants (in accordance with Walmart and Sam's Club benefit policies and AR scholarship and grant requirements). For specific information regarding tuition assistance and other educational benefits provided by Walmart and Sam's Club, employees will need to contact their human resources department. 

Effective Fall 2020, full-time Walmart and Sam's Club associates and their immediate household family members will be eligible to receive a tuition scholarship.

This scholarship will apply to any degree program offered at JBU, including students in traditional on-campus undergraduate, online undergraduate, and graduate programs. 

Note: Scholarships for the Graduate and Online Undergraduate courses cannot exceed more than 10% of total tuition. No benefit, repayment, reprobation, or refund will be made for or to any employee relating to classes that commenced prior to the first full session beginning after the effective date. The benefit is not retroactive to previous terms of enrollment prior to verification of the employee's eligibility. The benefit is not retroactive to previous or current students in the traditional, on-campus undergraduate program.
