Dolly Parton is getting heaps of praise on the Internet after it was revealed that starting February 24th, her Dollywood Parks & Resorts will begin covering 100% of tuition for employees seeking to further their education.
The new benefit will be open to all employees beginning on their first day of work, and it will also cover fees and textbooks.
“One of The Dollywood Foundation’s key tenets is to ‘learn more,’” President of Dollywood Company, Eugene Naughton, shares. “This program is created with that very tenet in mind,” adding, “We want our hosts to develop themselves through advanced learning to fulfill the foundation’s other tenets: care more, dream more, and be more.”
Naughton explains, “When our hosts strive to grow themselves, it makes our business and our community a truly better place. We care about our hosts’ development, and we want their future to grow because of love—not loans.”
Many fans took to social media to praise Dolly…
- “Dolly is at it again!,” one person shared. “This time she is paying for the education of employees of Dollywood that want to pursue higher education!”
- Another added, “Dolly Parton has done more to cancel student loan debt than Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC combined.”
- ONE MORE THING! Dolly is set to release a new song tomorrow. The track, “Blue Bonnet Breeze,” will be featured on the companion album to her book “Run Rose Run.” The album is out March 4th and the book is due out March 7th.
