The UFCW is about workers coming together to build better lives for themselves. It is about creating opportunity. That is why each year the UFCW Charity Foundation awards several scholarships of up to $8,000 each to UFCW members or their unmarried dependents under the age of 20. UFCW-employed officers, staff, and their immediate families are not eligible.
Past scholarship winners have gone on to make significant contributions to society and to the UFCW—entering a range of fields, including public service, medicine, law, business, and teaching. Many have returned to the UFCW as staffers, organizers, and community activists who contribute to our mission
Procedures
- The scholarships are limited to any UFCW member who has been active since January 1, 2024.
- The children and/or dependents of active members are also eligible to apply if they are unmarried and under the age of 20 on May 25, 2025.
- The scholarship application and essay must be completed by the eligible student to receive the scholarship.
- The scholarship recipients will be selected and awards made on the basis of several factors, including scholastic achievements, community involvement, and an essay that shows an understanding of the principles of the labor movement.

Both must be mailed with a postmark date no later than May 25, 2025. Keep in mind the time frame needed to receive the information from your school.
- Scholarship recipients will receive annual payments of $2,000 for each year they are enrolled in an accredited college or university as a non-probationary student for up to four years.
- Payment is dependent on written evidence of graduation from high school or equivalent and enrollment in an accredited college or university, or institute of higher learning.
