Minneapolis (December 5, 2023)—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 sciences1.
The Rasmussen University Professional Achievement Grant is an expansion of the University’s tuition assistance alliance with Best Buy that first began in 2021. Qualified Best Buy employees looking to enroll in campus-based programs such as nursing, medical 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.
“Best Buy is a major employer in the 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.”
Professional Achievement Grant Program and Employee Eligibility
This new offer includes the following programs in the Rasmussen University Schools of Business and Health Sciences2:
To qualify, Best Buy employees must be listed as a full-time employee at the course-start date and have at least six months of full-time or part-time continuous employment history. Additionally, you must not be on a leave of absence at either the course-start or end date, and you cannot leave the company before tuition disbursement.
Rasmussen University has been educating Minnesotans for more than 120 years. In addition to its local healthcare residential programs, Rasmussen offers more than 50 career-focused online programs with access to resources and support on campus. Online programs are offered across eight areas of study, including advance practice nursing, business, technology, education, and health sciences.
