According to a statement from McDonald’s, there will also be a change in eligibility rules for the program which will allow 400,000 U.S. restaurant employees accessibility to the program.
The tuition assistance for McDonald’s crew members will be raised from $700 to $2,500 per year and will go up from $1,050 to $3,000 for restaurant managers.
The company explains that the expansion of their program was "accelerated by changes in the U.S. tax law."
