Cut the cost of college by applying for a scholarship!


Update: The submission period ended at 11:59 p.m. CST on November 30, 2022.

The financial costs of pursuing higher education add up quickly. As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we’re here to help you succeed.

That’s why we’re partnering with the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Council (FSC) again to offer $16,000 in scholarships exclusively to members of Minnesota Credit Unions. A total of 16 applicants will be awarded a scholarship of $1,000. Last year MEFCU had seven members win scholarships!

This years essay question is "With rising costs of living, how has this impacted your financial goals and how can your credit union help you achieve them?"

Scholarship Eligibility

Any MEFCU member pursuing post-secondary education in the fall 2023/spring 2024 OR is a high school senior graduating in 2023 is eligible to apply.
