You normally have to remain with the company for a specified period of time after completing the degree or else have to repay the company a pro-rated amount. Additionally, many of these setups require you pay up-front out of pocket, and upon completing each semester with satisfactory grades, the company reimburses you for the amount. A friend had this happen to him a few years ago. He started an MBA program while working for our mutual employer, and left the company before he finished. He had to write a sizeable check to cover all this his last week there. Just 2 things to consider so you don't get suddenly hit with a large & unexpected bill.
