Over the past 24 years, FCCU has given out more than $450,000 in scholarships.  The Board of Directors recognizes the importance of young people receiving a good education and wants to encourage young people to do their best.  FCCU continues to do its part in providing incentives to help students reach their full potential.  In 2014, First Community Credit Union created a program that supports our dedication to area communities by reinvesting in youth.  FCCU donated $1 million into a scholarship foundation to provide additional scholarship dollars to graduating high school students.  The earnings from the foundation go to fund scholarship opportunities for members of the Credit Union for years to come.
