Starbucks says 2,000 staffers apply for online college program - Ángel González, Seattle Times

Starbucks says 2,000 of its staffers have applied to participate in the subsidized college education program it offers employees, and 1,800 have been admitted by Arizona State University, its partner in the program. The first 1,000 or so will begin classes on Oct. 15, the company says. About two thirds of them will be juniors and seniors, and therefore eligible for full tuition reimbursement. http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2024715704_starbuckscollegexml.html
