Hit Record and Apply

The GLCU Foundation for Financial Empowerment believes in empowering our communities, members, and employees through education. That’s why each spring we award eight $2,500 scholarships to students attending or bound for college in the coming fall.

It’s easy to apply, and there’s no essay required. Simply submit a half-page application, a letter of recommendation, and a video of yourself answering three questions.

Note: This year’s application window has closed. Thank you and good luck to all our applicants! Scholarships will be awarded during a ceremony in late May. We’ll contact each award recipient with details.
