Scholarship Program
We’re committed to helping A+FCU and community members improve their financial well-being. With deep roots in education, we understand the value a college degree can have. That’s why we award scholarships to hardworking high school and college students each year.
In 2024, we awarded 75 $2,000 scholarships to eligible students in honor of the credit union’s 75th anniversary.
I can't say enough about the impact this A+FCU scholarship has had on my ability to achieve my graduate degree. I am so very grateful. A+FCU has always been amazing to work with. For them to support me achieving my dreams in this way says so much about their commitment to the community!
