Scholarship Program

Applications for the 2023 Scholarship Program will be accepted through May 5, 2023. The application includes a 500 – 750 word essay on the following prompt:

Whether you are graduating high school or currently in college, it’s more critical than ever that you start taking responsibility for your financial future. It’s also important for you to understand the things that will most impact you as you begin transition to life after school over the next few years. In your essay, tell us the most important financial topics that you believe will help you on your journey to financial success (budgeting, credit score, retirement planning, etc). What has been your primary source of financial education? Do you think this is the best way to learn how to be financially responsible? How do you see your financial education impacting your future financial goals?
