Connex Credit Union announces $8,000 in college scholarships

Now through March 18, college-bound or currently enrolled students can apply for one of four scholarships

NORTH HAVEN, CT (January 18, 2022) — Connex Credit Union announced today that applications are now open for its annual scholarship program. Connex has added a new scholarship this year – the Dave F. Clark Arts and Music Scholarship, named in honor of one of the longest-service members of the Connex Board of Directors.

Through March 18, college-bound or currently enrolled students can apply for one of four $2,000 scholarships.

Scholarships offered in 2022 are the:

  • Nicolas G. Hackett Memorial Scholarship, established in memory of longtime Connex volunteer Nick Hackett.
  • John R. Edwards Community Involvement Scholarship, created in honor of former Connex President and Chief Executive Officer John R. Edwards and awarded to a student who emulates Connex’s commitment to community service.
  • Arthur B. Haesche Memorial Scholarship, commemorating one of Connex’s founding members Arthur B. Haesche that is reserved for a student majoring in business or finance.
  • Dave F. Clark Arts & Music Scholarship, named for one of our longest service Board members with 55 years of volunteer service, awarded to a student studying for a degree in Arts or Music.

These scholarships are available to any student with a 3.0 GPA or higher that is a college-bound high school senior or is already enrolled full-time in an accredited two-year or four-year undergraduate program for the fall 2022 semester. The student, or a direct family member (parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle), must also be a Connex Credit Union member in good standing as of Dec. 31, 2021.

To apply, students must go to connexcu.org and complete the online application, as well as the short essay component (250 words or less). Once finished, a current transcript, including GPA, can be uploaded with the application or mailed to:
