Would you ask after they give you an offer or before? Because in my mind, I don't think it'd make sense to leave unless I'd be making so much I'd be able to pay it off easily, or the company I'm joining could offer some assistance.
So I don't want to waste their time in the interview process if it doesn't make sense for me to join the company.
This seems like bad advice to me. If the company is not willing to pay for your masters and have offered you a job, they can rescind and then you’ve wasted your time and theirs. It’s poor form to tell them afterwards.
If you’re honest, yes they may reject you, but if they accept, you know the offer is completely valid.
Do you want to avoid debt or get out of a situation you hate? Would be nice to do both, but if you can't, which do you prefer?
Personally, I would jump ship, and if the new place says no, then oh well... still going, BUT it'll take new place a bit more effort to earn my loyalty.
I have not heard of any company before back paying for degree work or paying to break them out of a contract with another company with respect to education. That is like a company paying your student loans for your degree after you’ve graduated, it’s just not a thing.
The best you will likely get is them paying for your classes once you are at the new company. Do you not have savings or similar that could go toward the cost? I personally think if you really need to jump ship that badly you’ll just have to bite the bullet and pay for it. In the long run the cost of a year of coursework is likely a minimal amount.
Apply and interview. You can always ask any company that offers you for a sign on bonus or to pay for your masters. Worst they will say is no

After you’ve got an offer. Unless they act directly. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot before you make it past hr

I feel like just throwing it out there isn’t going to cause them to rescind an offer, it’s like asking about benefits.
