Thousands of corporations have programs in which they will pay for all or part of their employees’ school expenses. Based on what the corporations say they would have done, over six billion dollars in tuition and fee reimbursement goes unclaimed each year, simply because no one asked for it. This is partly because school-attending employees were unaware of the reimbursement plan, and partly because not enough employees chose to attend school in their spare time.

Some schools encourage currently enrolled students or alumni to help promote the school to others in their community, business, etc. For each student who enrolls as a result of their efforts, they are paid a fee or commission, which can range from just a few dollars to many hundreds of dollars. Many students have been able to reduce their own tuitions to zero by this method.
