Greenville Federal Credit Union announced it will award six scholarships to Greenville County Schools graduating seniors in the spring of 2023.
The scholarships will be awarded to eligible graduating high school seniors to help fund their first year of college or technical school. One $5,000 needs-based scholarship and five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded. The scholarship application opens October 1 online, and winners will be announced in April 2023.
To qualify for a scholarship, applicants must:
- Be enrolled at a Greenville County School District school.
- Possess a 3.0 GPA or above on a 4-point (non-weighted) scale.
- Be a Greenville Federal Credit Union member in good standing.
- Be a high school senior accepted on a full-time basis at a college or technical school in the upcoming year.
The scholarships are awarded by the Greenville Federal Credit Union Foundation
which exists to promote local prosperity by providing grants, educational
scholarships, and other funding support for individuals and non-profit,
community-based programs within Greenville County, SC. It relies on financial
support from the credit union and through donations from members, business
partners and the public. Funding is managed through a charitable donation
account by the credit union’s philanthropic partner, Carolina’s Credit Union
Foundation, a 501(c)(3), grant-making public foundation supported by the credit
union system in the Carolinas.
