FedEx tuition benefits — verified fact
FedEx's official Hiring and Development page says U.S. and Canada employees working toward college, trade, vocational, or technical education can have tuition covered up to $5,250 per year with no lifetime maximum while employed. Posting-level eligibility and timing still need verification because a current Vandalia package-handler posting includes both first-day tuition-reimbursement language in the benefits list and a 90-day educational-assistance statement in the pay-transparency section. For non-U.S. roles, sampled postings use local tuition-assistance wording instead of the U.S./Canada dollar guarantee.
