Credit Union West is now accepting applications for their 2022 Scholarship Program. Applications are open to high school seniors in Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, Yuma, Mohave, Coconino, Cochise, Navajo, Apache and Gila counties. There will be five $1,000 scholarships awarded. As part of Credit Union West’s legacy of serving military personnel, two of the scholarships will be awarded to Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps students.
“Credit Union West is proud to do our part to support young members of our communities accomplish higher education and reach their dreams,” said Karen Roch, President and CEO of Credit Union West. “Our annual scholarship program is an essential part of our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve.”
The $5,000 in scholarship funds will be awarded to five high school seniors who plan to attend a trade school, two-year or four-year college in 2022. Scholarship funds will help students manage the costs associated with furthering their education. Recipients can use the funds for tuition, class fees, books and other related expenses.
Students must meet specific requirements and submit a short essay. To learn how to apply, visit www.cuwest.org/scholarship. Applications are accepted now through March 31, 2022. Scholarship winners will be announced in early May.
