Walgreens trains future pharmacists

It's not a bad deal if you want to be a pharmacist.

Walgreens offers up to $2,500 annually for tuition costs, for any worker attending pharmacy school as long as they have already spent 1,040 hours on the job.

Recipients can receive the money during two years of required pre-pharmacy coursework, as well as the four years of study at an accredited pharmacy school.

After graduating, the student must remain employed with Walgreens as a pharmacist for the same number of years he or she received funding. If the worker leaves before then, they'll have to give back the money.
