The UFCW Charity Foundation is now accepting scholarship applications for 2025.

Every year, the UFCW Charity Foundation’s scholarship program offers scholarships to UFCW members or their immediate family members who want to further their education and demonstrate a commitment to their communities and UFCW values. For over 60 years, the UFCW has been providing scholarships, and the UFCW Charity Foundation proudly continues that tradition.

Past winners have gone on to make significant contributions to their communities and 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.

This year’s scholarship program application deadline is May 11. The “Part B” of the application is due by May 25. You can get more information about the UFCW Charity Foundation’s scholarship program here.

Members and their families who are pursuing an undergraduate degree can now maximize their time and tuition benefits through the new UFCW U-LEARN program. This new benefit is being provided by Franklin University, one of the UFCW’s discount college providers.

This new benefit offers 80 degree and 16 certificate programs. Students can take unlimited courses for no more than $5,250 per calendar year, although this cost can be brought down with additional financial aid. The UFCW U-LEARN program also includes free books and is available to new students only.

You can find additional information about the UFCW U-LEARN program, including a 20-minute webinar, here.

The International’s Communications Department has created graphics and sample copy for locals to promote this program here.
