Beacon Credit Union is accepting applications for its 2027 scholarship program.
Five $2,500 scholarships will be awarded to Beacon Credit Union members who are entering their freshman year at a college, university or technical school in the fall of 2027.
“Beacon Credit Union is proud to do our part to support young members of our communities as they pursue higher education and reach their goals,” Beacon Credit Union President and CEO Dustin Cuttriss said. “Our annual scholarship program is an essential part of our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve.”
The scholarship program is targeted to financially assist students in furthering their education at an accredited college, university or technical school. Students must meet specific requirements and respond to two essay questions. Applicants must also be a member of Beacon Credit Union by the date of submission.
