DCU Awarding $100,000 in Scholarships

WORCESTER, MA — With the costs of college steadily rising, DCU (Digital Federal Credit Union) understands that getting accepted into college isn’t the only hurdle for college-bound students and their families. Paying for college can be difficult and the DCU Annual Memorial Scholarship Program can help with college tuition costs.

Students in their senior year of high school who will be attending a state or nationally accredited college or university in the fall of 2016 can now apply for a DCU Annual Memorial Scholarship. This program is open to DCU members and non-members. These scholarships will be awarded on academic merit, teachers’ references, an original essay, awards and recognition, and extracurricular and community service activities. An impartial panel of college educators will judge the participants’ entries.

This year, DCU will award up to $100,000 in scholarships between $500.00 and $2,500.00. Application and all supporting materials are due on or before Friday, March 25, 2016 at 3pm (EST) and must be submitted electronically to scholarships@dcu.org. Any materials received after the deadline date will not be sent for judging. Scholarship winners will be notified by the end of May.

*All DCU employees, volunteers, and their immediate family members are ineligible. Funds will be distributed through the DCU for Kids Foundation.
