Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union partners with Carolinas Credit Union Foundation for a Community Service Scholarship and a Legacy Scholarship

KERNERSVILLE, NC (November 21, 2022) — Carolina Trust is proud to announce its new partnership with the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation for a Community Service Scholarship and a Legacy Scholarship.

Applicants are evaluated by the Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union and Carolinas Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Selection Committee based on grade point average, participation in school clubs and activities, community and volunteer involvement, and their response to an online essay question. In addition to the four key areas, the Scholarship Selection Committee also recognizes that college is overwhelmingly expensive for many. To help, the Foundation’s scholarship application portal includes a financial need section.

The application window for the scholarships closes on February 1, 2023. For additional details about scholarship qualifications and eligibility to apply, visit www.carolinatrust.org.

For nearly 30 years, the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation has served as a partner in philanthropy to credit unions, with a mission to empower and inspire credit unions in the Carolinas through collaborative opportunities that enrich the community.


About Carolinas Credit Union Foundation

The Carolinas Credit Union Foundation was incorporated in 1993 as a charitable organization dedicated to the embodiment of the “people helping people” philosophy of credit unions. Its mission is to empower and inspire credit unions in the Carolinas through collaborative opportunities to enrich our communities. The Foundation serves as a founding partner to Victory Junction, a year-round camping facility, located in Randleman, NC, for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses. Over the last 17 years, more than $5 million has been raised by credit unions in the Carolinas to support its camp and outreach programs. The Foundation also serves as a partner in philanthropy with credit unions, assisting charitable giving through donor-advised funds, managing scholarship and employee hardship programs, supporting small credit unions with professional development grants, and aiding disaster relief for the local, national, and global credit union communities.
