$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, three of MEFCU's members won scholarships!
This year's essay question is: Discuss a significant personal experience that has shaped who you are today. How has this experience influenced your educational and career aspirations? What lessons have you learned, and how do you apply them in your daily life?
