It is a rarety now but there was a time when employers offered tuition reimbursement programs for higher education. Graduate programs such as business schools are really expensive, but were economically feasible if an employer covered the cost. This wasn't a free lunch program. Employees needed to stay with the firm for at least X years immediately following completion. You have to do whatever possible to keep the ship afloat. You also can't leave without incurring steep financial penalties. However, if you love your job and where you work, this is such a luxury to have.
