We are excited to announce a new scholarship opportunity available to UFCW members and their families:
UFCW, in partnership with EBS Union College Benefit, has launched three full-ride undergraduate scholarships to Franklin University!
Scholarship recipients will receive:
- Full tuition coverage for an associate or bachelor’s degree
- Free textbooks
- Flexible, fully online programs with multiple start dates each semester
- Option to study full-time or part-time (degree must be completed within six years)
The scholarships are as follows:
The UFCW Unity and Solidarity Scholarship
Supporting students who demonstrate a commitment to solidarity, collective action, and strengthening working families.
The UFCW Next Generation Scholarship
Focused on developing future leaders who are ready to step forward in their workplaces, communities, and our union.
The UFCW Bridge to Opportunity Scholarship
Designed to help members advance—whether returning to school, building new skills, or pursuing new career pathways.
These scholarships represent more than financial assistance—they are a direct investment in our members, their families, and the future of our union. We encourage members to apply, or to share this opportunity with eligible family members, including children, spouses and siblings.
