$18,000 in scholarships available for Credit Union members!


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 $18,000 in scholarships exclusively to members of Minnesota Credit Unions. A total of 18 applicants will be awarded a scholarship of $1,000. Last year MEFCU had four members win scholarships!

This years essay question is "What is the greatest gift you have ever received (object or life experience)? How did it impact you when you received it and does it still hold meaning now? Would life be different if the "gift" was never received?
