FedEx Office is proud to provide a scholarship program to assist in making quality education more attainable. Scholarships are available to both full-time and part-time FedEx Office team members with a minimum of one year of employment, in addition to the children and legal dependents of our team members.

The FedEx Office Scholarship Program was established to assist the education of qualified children, legally dependent stepchildren, and wards of U.S. and internationally based FedEx Office team members. All scholarships are independently administered by Scholarship America. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals.

Scholarships may only be awarded to students pursuing their first undergraduate degree.

Awards are renewable for up to three years contingent upon maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above, or until an initial undergraduate degree is awarded, whichever occurs first.

All awards are for first-time undergraduate study only.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, financial need, work experience, a statement of goals and aspirations, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an online recommendation.
