Flowers Foods, Inc. Sons & Daughters Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

Flowers Foods, Inc. has established a scholarship program to assist children of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin.

Applicants to the Flowers Foods, Inc. Sons & Daughters Scholarship Program must be:

  • Children*, age 25 and under, of full-time employees who have a minimum of two years of employment as of the application deadline.
    *Children living in the employee’s home and are dependent on the employee for support are eligible. This includes a biological child, step- or legally adopted child, foster child, grandchild (with legal adoption or guardianship papers) and any other child for whom the employee has legal guardianship.
  • High school seniors or graduates, or current postsecondary undergraduates, who plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

Children of employees who are in a salary grade 23 and higher are not eligible.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,000 award. Up to ten (10) awards will be granted. Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study, continued employment of the student’s parent at Flowers Foods, Inc. and continuation of the program by Flowers Foods, Inc.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.
