Frequently Asked Questions

Live Better U covers 100% of tuition and required books for eligible programs, meaning there is little or no out-of-pocket cost to associates. Walmart invests in your education so you can focus on learning, not on the cost.

Full-time and part-time associates are eligible on day one at the company. Temporary associates and salaried associates at market level and above are not eligible.

No. Associates who already hold a bachelor’s degree are not eligible for Live Better U programs.

  1. Create an account on the Live Better U portal for foundational learning, bachelor’s degree or short form credentials as seen below.

  2. Explore programs available.

  3. Connect with a coach for personalized guidance.

  4. Enroll! Tuition and books are covered for eligible associates.

We are not currently considering adding masters degrees to our portfolio, as very few roles within the organization require that level of education. However, some universities offer discounted tuition to Walmart associates. This includes their master’s and doctorate programs.

If you go on a Leave of Absence (LOA) or parental leave, you can remain enrolled in Live Better U. Your program will continue, and Walmart will keep covering tuition and required books as long as you maintain eligibility. We encourage you to work with your coach through Live Better U to ensure you are staying on track.

At this time, only programs within the Live Better U catalog are eligible for the education benefit.
