What is the name of Walmart's employee college tuition program?

The story behind the answer

Walmart’s employee college tuition program is called Live Better U.

Live Better U, often abbreviated LBU, is Walmart’s education benefit for eligible Walmart and Sam’s Club associates. It provides access to selected college degrees, career certificates and other skills-oriented programs, with Walmart covering tuition and books for qualifying offerings under the program.

The initiative launched in 2018 and originally required participating associates to contribute $1 per day. Walmart removed that fee in 2021, making the benefit substantially more accessible to both full-time and part-time U.S. associates, including new hires who meet the program’s eligibility rules.

Walmart Academy is a different program. It focuses primarily on workplace training and development, especially skills needed for retail roles. Spark Good is a community-giving platform, and Associate Discount refers to an employee purchasing benefit. Those names therefore should not be substituted for Live Better U when the question specifically asks about college tuition.
