Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods Scholarship Program
Deadline to apply: February 15, 2025 3:00 pm CT

Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods has established a scholarship program to assist children of team members, grandchildren of team members and full-time team members 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 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.

Applicants to the Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods Scholarship Program must be:

  • Full-time Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods domestic team members who have a minimum of one year employment with the company as of the application deadline OR
    Dependent* children or grandchildren**, age 25 and under, of full-time Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods domestic team members who have a minimum of one year of employment with the company as of the application deadline. Award recipients of the Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods Dependent Scholarship are not subject to this employment eligibility requirement.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the team member’s household or primarily supported by the team member.
    **Grandchildren are not required to be the dependent of a Ukrop’s team member.
  • 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 officers and executives are ineligible.

Household income (adjusted gross income) must be less than $125,000.

First generation students are encouraged to apply.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award. Up to 5 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 (maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale) in a full-time course of study and continuation of the program by Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in April.

  • Academic record
