Once again, Filene and The Cooperative Trust are hoping to get 50 Crashers – one from each state – to attend the event in Washington, DC. Crashers receive free conference registration. Travel, lodging, and food costs are the responsibility of the Crasher and their credit union. DakCU is offering a $1,000 scholarship for each of our Dakota Crashers! The first step is to be selected. If you are building a career in the industry, we strongly encourage you to apply for this opportunity. Details are available here.

ROGER HEACOCK GAC-HTH SCHOLARSHIP
|
This Dakota Credit Union Association (DakCU) scholarship was created to honor Roger Heacock’s servant leadership and longtime commitment to credit union advocacy and grassroots engagement by providing financial assistance to credit union professionals who are members of DakCU and wish to attend the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) or the DakCU Legislative/Regulatory Hike the Hill (HTH). Assistance varies each year and is based on the number of qualified applicants and funds available.
Scholarship monies allocated to applicants may reach, but not exceed, the cost of attending the conference or event. Deadline to apply is December 1, 2021. |
