First Credit Union Scholarships (open May 15th – July 15th)
One way FCU achieves their purpose of empowering through knowledge is by offering financial support through First Credit Union Scholarships. Scholarships are open to all First Credit Union members attending post secondary programs, including life-long (mature) learners.
Scholarships are $2,500 and are available to all First Credit Union members in good standing for one year or more. Applications are viewed through a diversity, equity and inclusion lens and challenges or barriers to education are considered. We strive to invest scholarship dollars equitably across the communities we serve.
Applications are accepted starting May 15th with a deadline of July 15th. Recipients are announced in early August. Due to the high volume of requests, only those selected for a scholarship will be notified.
