Scholarship

One of the great benefits of the CU Succeed™ program is that the credit union recognizes your hard work, and we encourage you to get the best education possible. For this reason, we offer 4 scholarships (2 students each semester) each year to A and B average students at whatever level you are in school or college.

How It Works!
Turn in a copy of your report card or grade sheet to the credit union at the end of the semester. Students with an A average are given two entries to the raffle. Students with a B average are given one entry. A drawing is conducted on a specified date, and two winners are chosen each semester.

The winners of the drawing each receive a scholarship of $250 made out to the school. The credit union issues a certificate to each winner until he or she begins college, at which time, the funds are awarded.

Participants can win only one time each year. If a student entered the raffle one semester and did not win a scholarship, he or she can continue to enter the raffle in the following semesters.

* Members are responsible for the surcharges charged by other financial institutions.
