The Program offers JetBlue employees the chance to study online with institutes of higher education or with one of their partners. In the following article, we outline how to get JetBlue tuition reimbursement!
Do you qualify as a JetBlue Scholar?
The JetBlue Scholars website clearly states the requirements for crewmembers who are looking to join the program. If you meet their three basic requirements, you are ready to start your journey to becoming a JetBlue Scholar!
The JetBlue website lists the following three requirements:
- One year of service with JetBlue
- Active and in good standing in the company
- Pursuing a first bachelor’s degree from a US or Puerto Rican College or University
If you checked those boxes, your next steps are below. Crewmembers can access more details and resources by logging on to their HelloJetBlue account. If you are not an employee at JetBlue, but are interested in a career with them, visit the JetBlue Careers webpage.
How to enroll in JetBlue Tuition Reimbursement
Check if enrollment is open
The first step is to check with your employer about if enrollment is open. If not, ask when it will open again.
Complete you application
Once you know enrollment is open, you need to fill out your application. Your application will then be reviewed to ensure you meet all the necessary criteria.
Complete a college readiness course
Before you officially enroll in any classes, JetBlue wants to ensure you are fully prepared for the journey you’re about to begin. A college readiness course is a basic class that will help you prepare for being a student again.
Submit transcripts, certificates, and licenses
Gather any transcripts from previous courses you have completed and any certifications or licensures you have. JetBlue wants to make sure that you receive credit for the things you’ve already put time, money, and effort into. Even if you think something may not count towards your degree, it is always worth asking!
Sign up for classes
Now that you’re admitted and ready to go, the next step is classes. JetBlue Scholars complete their course work online through JetBlue partner universities, which means they can study anywhere they are. You will select classes with the help of an advisor from your MyDegree account (see below).
Complete your last semester
Once you have completed all the necessary course work for your degree, you will spend your last semester completing classes with a JetBlue partner university. During this semester, you will receive discounted tuition. Scholarships may also be available for those who qualify.
What is MyDegree?
MyDegree is an academic advising platform to help students keep track of their degree progress. In addition to organizing classes, MyDegree assigns students an advisor to help guide them towards what classes they need and monitors their progress. Access to your MyDegree account will open after you have been admitted as a JetBlue Scholar.
JetBlue Scholars Masters Pathway
If you’ve already completed your undergraduate degree, JetBlue wants to help you take the next step as well! JetBlue Crewmembers are eligible to attend one of six partner universities to receive their master’s degree. The JetBlue Scholars Master Pathway Program offers over thirty different degree options and tuition discounts.
Additional options for tuition reimbursement
JetBlue isn’t the only company that wants to help their employees further their education. Apple, Target, CarMax, and McDonald’s are just a few examples of other companies that offer their employees some type of tuition assistance.
