Apply for a Scholarship

Apply to be considered for a scholarship to support your academic journey to higher education. The Midland Empire Chapter of Credit Unions scholarship program offers two fantastic opportunities (each at $1,000) to area credit union members. One is designated for traditional students, defined as a graduating high school senior or current college student with a gap less than three years since high school. The second is the Ray Harris Memorial Scholarship awarded to a non-traditional student, someone that has been out of school for at least three years before returning.
