2006 Employee Scholarship Recipients Announced by Wegmans For Release: 06-16-2006 Contact Information: Jo Natale, director of media relations 585-429-3627 Rochester, NY – Wegmans announced that 1,416 employees from across the company have been awarded a scholarship to offset the cost of college tuition. The company will pay out a total of $4.6 million for the 2006/2007 academic year to new recipients and previous scholarship recipients still in school. Since its inception in 1984, the Wegmans Employee Scholarship Program has awarded over $59 million in tuition assistance to more than 19,000 employees. Part-time employees are eligible to receive up to $1,500 a year for four years. Full-time employees are eligible to receive up to $2,200 a year for four years. In order to be eligible, employees must work a minimum number of hours over a specified period of time and must maintain both a high academic standard and a good work record. Although recipients can choose the educational and career path they desire, many have pursued careers with Wegmans after graduating from college. An outside committee comprised of college admissions professionals and a team from Wegmans reviews the applications to determine who will receive the scholarships. The external committee evaluates such things as SAT scores, grades, and extracurricular activities; the internal Wegmans committee evaluates work performance.
