UFCW Charity Foundation Scholarship Deadline Is May 14

The UFCW Charity Foundation is now accepting scholarship applications for 2023.

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. Since 1958, the fund has distributed more than $2 million in scholarships.

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 14. The “Part B” of the application is due by May 28.  You can get more information about the UFCW Charity Foundation’s scholarship program here.

OUTreach Offers Creating Change Conference Scholarships

UFCW OUTreach is offering five full-paid scholarships for rank and file UFCW members to attend next year’s Creating Change Conference in San Francisco. The conference, which will take place on Feb. 17 to 21, 2023, is organized by the national LGBTQ Task Force.

This is the sixth year that UFCW OUTreach has provided scholarships to the Creating Change Conference, which is the foremost political, leadership, and skills-building conference for the LGBTQ+ social justice movement. Scholarship recipients will learn about a broad range of social justice issues and develop skills to bring back to their workplaces and local unions.  Past session topics have included labor, gender equality, community organizing, criminal justice, immigration and more.

UFCW OUTreach Executive Board members attending the conference each year have served as a key voice for issues impacting hard-working families and the labor movement. Providing scholarships to UFCW members helps our union family to strengthen new member recruitment and develop new leaders within our union and in the broader LGBTQ+ movement.

The submission deadline for the five scholarships is Monday, Nov. 28. You can get more information about UFCW OUTreach scholarships to this important conference here.

If you have any questions or want to learn more about UFCW OUTreach, contact Michele Kessler at MKessler@ufcw1776.org.
