Centra Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2025 Loretta M. Burd Scholarship Program.
The program will award 34 total $2,500 scholarships to graduating high school seniors and adult students this year.
Each Centra branch location will award one $2,500 scholarship to a high school senior in the local community. The remaining scholarships will be awarded to adult or non-traditional students who have decided to return to school. The Loretta M. Burd Adult Scholarship may be used to pursue an undergraduate degree, graduate degree or certification from an accredited college, university or technical/trade school.
Named in honor of Loretta M. Burd, who retired from Centra Credit Union after 47 years of service, the Loretta M. Burd Scholarship Program is designed to invest in Members’ futures. The program specifically helps local students who plan to attend a two- or four-year college, university or technical/trade school.
The Centra Foundation would like to recognize Shirley Shea for her support of the Loretta M. Burd Adult Scholarship Program. Centra is very grateful for her continued support.
To qualify for a scholarship, the applicant or the applicant’s parent or legal guardian must be a member of Centra Credit Union with an account in good standing.

Applications will be accepted until March 9, 2025, at https://www.centra.org/centra-foundation/scholarships/. All applications will be reviewed on academic achievements, school and community involvement, work history and a short essay about financial literacy.
The scholarship places value on well-rounded students who display a strong work ethic and involvement in their local community. Scholarship recipients will be announced in April 2025.
