Also, there are certain companies that offer "post"-tuition reimbursement. What I mean by that is that you attend a regular, day B-school, on your own dime, and if you do well (really well) and/or the B-school is really famous (like, for example, the Ivy League), then these companies may offer as part of their compensation package, reimbursement of the tuition you paid. Now you can just think of this as a really really big signing bonus, but for tax reasons, it is advantageous for both you and those companies to structure it as a tuition reimbursement deal. But of course, for you to accept such a deal you will be forced to sign some documents agreeing to stick with that company for x number of years, where basically you are signing yourself into indentured servitude with that company for awhile. But it still might make good financial sense, depending on the exact circumstances.
