About the Scholarship

The UFCW & FELRA Scholarship Program expects to award scholarships to a select number of eligible participants and their dependents who will be enrolled in an accredited college, university, community college, vocational school, or trade or technical school as a full-time student in the Fall of 2017.

Participants and their dependents are eligible to apply for a scholarship award if, as of December 31, 2016, the participant completes at least one uninterrupted Year of Service and is actively employed by Giant Food, Safeway, or Shoppers Food Warehouse. In addition, on December 31, 2016, dependent child applicants must be under the age of 24, unmarried and a dependent of the participant for federal income tax purposes.

Applicants who submit preliminary applications and meet the initial scholarship award requirements will be mailed a full application in early January 2017.  

IMPORTANT: If your dependent does not have medical coverage through the Fund Office, please include a copy of a marriage certificate (if spouse), or birth certificate or custody order (if child) with the preliminary application.
