Utz Quality Foods, LLC. has established a scholarship program to assist associates’ children who plan to continue their education in college. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited two- or four-year college or university of the student’s choice.
This scholarship program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships 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 are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability or national origin.
Please note: Dependents of the Executive Operating Team members and above are not eligible to apply.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $3,000 (U.S.) award. Up to fifteen (15) awards will be granted each year. The number of awards allocated to each location will attempt to be directionally proportional to the number of applications received, provided there are qualified applicants.
The award checks will be issued in U.S. currency.
Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Preference will be given to those who have not previously received an award and dependents of non-exempt associates. Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Applicants will be notified in January. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Utz Quality Foods, LLC. Payments are made in one installment in mid-July. Checks are mailed to each recipient’s home address and are made payable to the school for the student.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
Financial need is not considered.
Academic evaluation of international applicants will include a review of the grade/mark average based on the grading system used in the applicant’s country and a review of the results of academic examinations.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Utz Quality Foods, LLC. play a part in the selection. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
One online recommendation form must be submitted on your behalf no later than December 2, 2022 3:00 pm Central Time.
