For the past few years, UFCW has offered a free college program to members and their families. The UFCW Free College Benefit ensures that UFCW members and their families do not have to pay out of pocket for any tuition, fees or e-books.
The program started as a two-year associate degree program through Eastern Gateway Community College and it has now expanded to include a full four-year bachelor’s degree program, allowing students to earn their degrees through Central State University.
This amazing benefit makes it possible for UFCW members and their families to earn an Associate Degree online through Eastern Gateway Community College (EGCC) with no out-of-pocket costs or need for loans.
The UFCW’s Free College Benefit is designed to help UFCW members and their families balance work and home life. You can attend school part-time or full-time – whichever fits your schedule. All you need to get started is a high school degree or GED, and there are no entrance exams to worry about.
