East River FCU Awards Scholarships

​This credit union is presenting six scholarships to student members who show commitment to their community. 

East River Federal Credit Union is excited to announce six recipients of the 2023 Educational Scholarships. Students awarded the scholarship are members of East River Federal Credit Union who exemplify a commitment to their education and community, as well as leadership qualities.

Scholarships are awarded to students who are enrolling in a university, college or technical school in the fall of 2023 or are currently enrolled. The applicants are evaluated on academic achievement, community involvement, letters of recommendation, and an essay on financial wellness. The winners were chosen through a blind selection process by a volunteer member committee.
