Selection Process
All eligible applications will be reviewed by a selection committee appointed by the credit union. Applications will be scored based on their answers to the essay questions, writing style and presentation, volunteerism, academic achievement, letters of recommendation and financial plan. The selection committee is committed to the equal opportunity of all applicants without regard to race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age or disability. All scholarship recipients will be notified by email by May 31; applicants who are not selected will not be notified.
Award
Each scholarship awarded will be a one-time scholarship in the amount of $4,000. Applicants may reapply for subsequent years as long as they qualify. Upon verified registration, awards will be paid directly to the college, university or vocational school in the recipient's name. Funds will not be disbursed to the student directly. Termination of the student's enrollment or failure to maintain full-time status will result in cancellation of the award, and the remaining funds will be returned to the credit union. Funds may be forwarded to another accredited university upon request and proof of enrollment.

Winners must submit a high resolution photo and agree to the terms and conditions of a publicity release to qualify for the award. All applications and essay information become property of the credit union.
