Scholarship Program

The credit union offers an annual scholarship program every January to promote post-secondary education among our membership. The success of our members’ future careers is important to us, and we look forward to assisting three of our members each year with this monetary award.

Three $1000 scholarships will be awarded to the top 3 candidates based on their response to the follow essay question:

As defined by Merriam-Webster, “Character is the way someone thinks, feels and behaves.” It’s essentially what makes you who you are. In your essay please describe a time in your life that has been a true character-building moment. How did this pivotal moment affect you?  How do predict it will mold your future success?
