Beginning with a single scholarship in 1992, the Foundation has grown exponentially over the last 24 years to bestow more than 2,600 worthy college students with awards totaling more than $4 million — ensuring that California’s grocery employees and their dependents have the resources necessary to start or complete their higher education. The scholarship program includes four types of scholarships: CGAEF Funded, Legacy, Donor, and Piggyback. CGA Educational Foundation college scholarships are open to high school seniors, college undergraduates and graduate students who are employees, or the dependents of employees, of California Grocers Association member companies. “CGAEF scholarship donors are investing in the development of tomorrow’s grocery industry leaders,” said CGAEF Executive Director Shiloh London. “We are grateful for the tremendous ongoing support of CGA member companies which allow the Foundation an opportunity to provide college scholarships to deserving students.” The CGA Educational Foundation was created under the direction of the California Grocers Association Board of Directors in 1991. Its mission is to provide financial assistance to advance the educational goals of CGA member company employees and their dependents and offer educational programs to advance the grocery industry.
