We are hiring leaders and innovators. Wegmans begins with we.

Does Wegmans Help Employees Pay for College?

Yes. Wegmans supports employees who want to pursue higher education through its long-standing Employee Scholarship Program, which provides financial assistance for college tuition.

This program is available to both part-time and full-time employees who meet eligibility requirements, and it is designed to help people build a foundation for their future while working.

How the Wegmans scholarship program works

Wegmans offers a competitive scholarship program that employees can apply for each year.

  • Scholarships are awarded to employees who meet work and performance criteria
  • Recipients can use funds toward tuition at an accredited college
  • Employees are free to choose their own field of study

The goal of the program is simple: help employees pursue their educational goals while continuing to grow their careers.

How much financial support you can receive

The amount you may receive depends on your employment status:

  • Part-time employees: up to $8,000 over four years
  • Full-time employees and management interns: up to $16,000 over four years 

Wegmans supports thousands of employees through this program each year, helping make college more accessible while working.

Who is eligible

Wegmans scholarships are open to employees who:

  • Meet work performance expectations
  • Complete a minimum number of work hours over time
  • Apply through the company’s scholarship process

Because this is a scholarship program, awards are based on eligibility and selection—not guaranteed for every applicant.

Who this benefit is a good fit for

The Wegmans scholarship program is especially valuable for:

  • Students working part-time during school
  • Early-career employees building long-term plans
  • First-generation college students balancing work and education
  • Anyone looking to offset college tuition while gaining work experience

Because the program supports both part-time and full-time employees, it can align with a variety of schedules and career paths.

What makes the program different

Wegmans’ approach to tuition support is intentionally flexible:

  • No required major — employees can study any field at an accredited college
  • No restriction to specific schools
  • Applies to both part-time and full-time roles

This allows employees to pursue education goals that match their interests—whether or not they plan to stay in the same field long term.

Supporting your growth beyond tuition

Education support is part of a broader commitment to employee growth at Wegmans.

  • The company invests in training and development programs to help employees build skills and advance
  • Many employees continue developing their careers within the company after completing their education 

Wegmans views education as one way to help people grow—not just as employees, but as individuals

How this connects to long-term opportunities

Many employees who receive scholarships continue their careers at Wegmans after completing their education. The company emphasizes growth, internal mobility and development opportunities, helping employees build careers—not just short-term jobs.
