Heritage Federal Credit Union is committed to supporting our members in efforts to continue education – and this scholarship honors that commitment. Each year, Heritage will award 10 students with a $2,000 scholarship. The total scholarship will be distributed in increments of $1,000 over the student’s first and second year of school (at the beginning of each fall semester). Scholarship money will be deposited directly into the student’s Heritage account and can be used for tuition, books, fees, room and board, gas, or other related expenses. Please note that each year there will be 2 scholarships dedicated to immediate family members of Heritage employees. Students that accept a full ride scholarship from any other source should notify Heritage and decline the Heritage Scholarship Designed for You. If the student does not maintain full-time enrollment after the first year, the remaining reward will not be awarded.
