You'd be better taken care of if you got hired by Amazon in a non-tech role and then applied to this program. What Amazon provides to employees who sign up:

"Applicants accepted into the tuition-free program receive a stipend to cover living costs and a subsidy to maintain their benefits plan."

That being said, as a former student of lambda, I do not recommend the program, at least the Data Science track. The controversial reputation Lambda has received over the internet and social media is well-deserved.
