“Pursuing a postsecondary education is never easy, especially for working learners trying to balance career, family, and life obligations,” said Dr. Jill Buban, Vice President and General Manager of EdAssist by Bright Horizons. “Papa Johns has developed a best-in-class education benefits program that not only eliminates cost and access barriers for employees but also incorporates essential supports that are proven to positively impact the success of adult learners. We’re thrilled to partner with Papa Johns to bring this expanded program to life for thousands of hardworking employees around the country.”

More than 250 Papa Johns team members have become Dough & Degrees students – with no up-front financial contribution required of them – since the program began. Papa Johns covers tuition, books and fees – all paid for upfront by Papa Johns, so there are no out-of-pocket costs to team members. Dough & Degrees provides no-cost education benefits to Papa Johns corporate team members, including those who work in corporate-owned restaurants, corporate hubs, Quality Control Centers and at subsidiaries of Papa John’s International, Inc. In addition, Dough & Degrees provides education benefits at deeply discounted costs to team members working at restaurants owned by Papa Johns franchise partners.
