Because of your UFCW membership, you and your family members can earn an associate degree online from a public, accredited community college – with no out-of-pocket costs to you. The process is simple and can save you thousands of dollars.
UFCW members can learn a foreign language for free online and at their own pace. Spanish, French, German, English, Japanese and other languages are offered.
Every year the UFCW Charity Foundation offers scholarships to UFCW members or their immediate family members who want to further their education and demonstrate a commitment to their communities and to UFCW values. Since 1958, the fund has distributed more than $2 million in scholarships.*
With this specially designed program, UFCW members will be able to earn their GED at their own pace, on their own time. You can even take classes on your phone.
The Union Plus Scholarship Program awards scholarships based on outstanding academic achievement, personal character, financial need, and commitment to the values of organized labor. The program is offered through the Union Plus Education Foundation.
Union Plus Scholarship awards are granted to students attending a two-year college, four-year college, graduate school, or recognized technical or trade school.
Your local union may offer additional scholarships or education opportunities that are only available to UFCW members at your local union. To make sure you aren’t missing out, be sure to ask your union representative for information on educational programs, financial assistance, or training available.
