CU Foundation Scholarship

Are you headed off to college or trade school in 2017?  Well FedFinancial is pleased to announce a college scholarship opportunity to make it easier for you to meet tuition costs. The $12,000 Credit Union College Scholarship Program for 2017 is underway now!  College-bound members are eligible to apply for one of ten $1,000 essay-based scholarships - one $1,000 video-based scholarship; and one $1,000 photo-based scholarship.  And, yes, you may apply in all three categories!

Deadline for applications is March 31, 2017.  Scholarship winners will be announced in April 2017 on the Credit Union Foundation MD|DC’s scholarship website: www.cufound.org/scholarship.

This year’s essay topic: “As a credit union member, explain why someone should choose a credit union as their primary financial institution over alternative service providers, such as for-profit banks.”

This year’s video topic: “Create a 60-second advertisement targeted specifically at a younger viewer (under the age of 30) that highlights the benefits of credit union membership.”

Photo applicants are asked to capture and submit a photograph that represents the credit union core value, “Respectful.”

Any member of FedFinancial who is entering their freshmen through senior year of college or trade school may apply. 

“We’re pleased to offer this opportunity for our young members,” said Jonathan Rhodes, President/CEO of FedFinancial.  “The awardees receive needed financial assistance to help them meet their tuition expenses and the application topics stimulate innovative and useful responses to help us better serve our college-aged members.”
