$16,000 in Scholarships Available for Credit Union Members!
The financial costs of pursuing a higher education add up quickly. As a not-for-profit financial institution, we are here to help you, our members, succeed. That’s why we are once again partnering with the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Council (FSC) to offer $16,000 in scholarships exclusively to members of Minnesota Credit Unions.
Over 340 scholarships have been awarded since 1997, totaling $209,000. Four MEFCU members were awarded FSC scholarships in 2020. Congratulations to Isaac Harreld, Kyler Reps, Sophia Hendrickson and Heather Oldenburg!
