Hi! Great video and CONGRATS on graduating!! I’m in SCAP and just wanted to clear up for future viewers that Starbucks won’t make you pay any money back for failed, dropped, or withdrawn classes! Around the 8:50 mark you said “if you don’t pass, you might owe the money back”, but the Starbucks Tuition Benefit is provided even for failed classes, which is so awesome! It only states that “any failed, dropped, or withdrawn courses will count toward the maximum number of credit hours” which is 135 hours. So if you fail a few classes and max out your 135 hours Starbucks pays for, then you would have to pay out of pocket to retake those classes. But if you transfer credits from another college, you may never run into that issue even if you fail a few! 💛
I graduate this summer - only one semester left 🎉

[@tincagayatmusicSD]

Stoked for youuuu

[@latte_the_raver8100]

Congratulations Tori

[@jaylenehernandez1856]

I started the scap program in August! Your videos have been so helpful thank you! I was wondering what you majored in and if you would continue posting your journey in its next steps with your college degree! I’m thinking a lot about what I want to do with mine once I finish

[@tonybowen455]

Thx this helped a lot. I'm looking to start asu hopefully in fall. 48 credit hours a year, crazy! Working 20 hrs a week while doing that is insanity.

[@christ4572]

Congratulations!!!!! Go SUN DEVILS!!!!!!!

[@timothylum3756]

Congrats on your degree! Love the video. I would've definitely considered this route if I had seen this earlier. I'm already $30k+ in debt and still have a year and a half left to go T.T

[@HelloToriTales]

Haha! You’re almost there though! 🙌🏼 you can do eeeeet!

[@Dani-bs8sz]

Does Starbucks only pay for ASU online?

[@salmitaaa26]

yes they pay your full tuition!!
