"McDonalds has had a HUGE impact on my education endeavors. During my undergrad at Western Kentucky University, McDonalds paid $3,000 a year towards my tuition and awarded me bonuses for performing well in my classes. In August of 2022, I started my Masters Degree in Management and Leadership at Westerns Governors University. Since I was employed with McDonalds, I was able to receive FREE tuition! This means that I will graduate with a Graduate Degree for $0 out of pocket!

Not only has McDonald's allowed me the opportunity to attend college at an affordable price, McDonald's has also equipped me with business and leadership knowledge to succeed in both my undergrad and graduate degrees."
