Amazon Career Choice: College Voucher Process
February 2022
Amazon Career Choice is an education benefit that empowers employees to learn new skills for career success at Amazon
or elsewhere. We meet individual learners where they are on their education journey through a variety of education and
upskilling opportunities. We also pay for tuition in advance to remove the financial constraints of going back to school.
We work with educational partners to provide high quality education and expect our partners will work with our business
processes. This document provides frequently asked questions (FAQs) about our tuition pre-payment voucher process
for colleges.
OVERVIEW
What is a Career Choice voucher?
The Career Choice voucher is the mechanism that Amazon uses to pre-pay tuition for employees using Career Choice at
approved schools. Once our employees generate a voucher and provide it to their school upon enrollment, the school
submits the voucher to Amazon for payment. We send electronic payments through our internal Payee Central platform.
How much tuition does Amazon pay?
Full-time employees are eligible for the maximum benefit of $5,250 per calendar year with no lifetime maximum. Part-
time employees are eligible for a benefit of $2,625 per year with no lifetime maximum. Through Career Choice, Amazon
will pre-pay 100% of tuition and fees up to the employee's maximum eligibility. The employee is responsible for any
amount exceeding their budget.
How does the Career Choice payment process work?
The process starts once the employee enrolls in a Career Choice-approved school. Then, they apply for their Career
Choice voucher on www.AmazonCareerChoice.com. When their application is approved, they receive a voucher that
indicates their remaining budget. The employee has two options for submitting the voucher to the school: 1) e-sign the
voucher and email it to the school; 2) download the voucher, print it and physically bring it to the school. The school
then fills out their section of the voucher and emails it back to our payments team, at which point we process the
payment within 2-4 weeks.
PAYEE CENTRAL
What is Payee Central?
Payee Central is our vendor management platform. The externally facing website, Payee Central, provides Corporate
Accounts Payable (Corp AP) payees with a secure, self-service means of managing their banking, contact information,
purchase order email addresses, and tax information for use in the Corp AP Procure-to-Pay cycle. Once Payee Setup is
completed, Payee Central provides payees with ways to search invoices and payment statuses, and contact Amazon
Accounts Payable for assistance.
How do we sign in to Payee Central?
Please use the following link: https://payeecentral.amazon.com. Your school’s Payment Point of Contact will have
access to Payee Central as they set up the account.
Can multiple individuals have access?
Yes, your school’s Payment Point of Contact is able to log into Payee Central and allow additional users/viewers of the
account. Unfortunately, we are unable to add additional individuals, and the requests need to be managed by your
school’s Payee Central administrator.
Can you review your paid invoices from Amazon in your Payee Central account?
Yes, please, sign in to your Payee Central account on https://payeecentral.amazon.com, on the upper ribbon click on
“invoices” and select “search invoices”. By default, the invoice management tool displays the list of your vouchers
