Amazon Career Choice is an education benefit that empowers employees to learn new skills for career success at Amazon or elsewhere. The company pays for tuition in advance to remove the financial constraints of going back to school.

Steps for Students

1. Apply to RCC on CCC Apply. For more information, visit the Becoming an RCC Tiger
2. Apply for the Amazon Choice Program voucher on www.AmazonCareerChoice.com
3. Email the Amazon Choice Program voucher to ThirdPartyBilling@rcc.edu from your RCC student email
   • Sample Voucher
4. Register for classes at RCC through My Portal

RCC will process the voucher after the refund deadline and send an invoice to Amazon. Students will submit a new voucher each semester.

Students should upload reimbursable receipts to their Amazon portal as the Follett bookstore on campus does not accept the Amazon voucher at this time. Students are responsible for the costs of parking passes.
